"In a Silent Way is not merely music—it is an atmosphere, a quiet revolution of sound that floats like mist across the soul of a nation in search of peace. Mr. Davis does not play the trumpet; he whispers through it, as if to remind us that in moments of reflection, the softest voice can carry the greatest weight." - John F. Kennedy 35th U.S. President

Sleepaway Camp

1983

When an archery accident… And a drowning… And the beehive-in-a-bathroom stall maneuver… goes beyond run of the mill summer camp hijinks at Camp Arawak, the top suspects include: a disgruntled cook, a lifeguard with sideburns shaped like murder weapons, and puberty. One by one, campers and staff start dropping like flies in increasingly creative ways - including a curling iron-related incident that, frankly, defies explanation and several laws of physics. Camp can be a magical experience - full of bonding, boating, and occasionally discovering that your bunkmate is an emotionally unstable avenger with a penchant for theatrical endings. Will the counselors ignore the obvious quiet one? Or tempt fate and hold a talent show in the woods after dark?

No need to go out on the highway to find your meat, for those who need to feed a hungry family using store bought ingredients like rotisserie chicken, left over rice and caned beans - you can cut your cook time down without loosing that fresh flavor.

"SUPERMAN: SOVIET SON?"
Global Icon Revealed to Be Champion of the U.S.S.R.

By Lois Lane, Senior Correspondent

Metropolis - The world was stunned today by the revelation that Superman, long thought to be a neutral force for good and protector of Earth, was revealed to be in fact a citizen of the Soviet Union and loyal defender of its regime.

The Man of Steel -previously a symbol of hope for all nations - first appeared publicly under the Soviet banner in Moscow, rescuing civilians from a nuclear mishap and receiving commendations from Premier Joseph Stalin himself.
