Grace Slick's 'Manhole' Indicates Vonnegut Still Read by Musicians
By DAVE BECK
Kansas Reviewer
Grace Slick's "Manhole," a solo album with the usual big-name San Francisco sidenem, raises that standard higher yet. Paul Kaitner is prominent on "Manhole." He brings his own Kantner-Slick epics, his playing this time stays within the bounds of his talent.
Now that the Hot Tuna faction of the long-grounded Jefferson Airplane has released its fourth album and Marty Balin has returned from limbo with his first solo album, his alirship set has been handed a high standard with which to measure its latest effort.
Familiar names dot the bandy reading material provided with "Manthell"; David Freberg and Gary Duncan from Quicksilver Messenger Service; David Grosby from the Birds and Crosby, Stills, and Frost; John Scales was a drummer with the Jefferson Airplane; guitarist Peter Kaukonen and bass guitarist Jack Casady all contribute.
“It's Only Music” is one of the best songs
'Magnum Force'
Dirty Harry Kills 'Em Every Time
BY BYRON MYERS
Kansan Reviewer
"Magnum Force," starring Clint Eastwood and Hal Holbrook, could have been titled, "The Further Adventures of Dirty Harry," for it picks up where Dirt Harry left off. The book's suspense justice in 210-grain lead packages from the muzzle of his Smith & Wesson, 44 magnum.
The movie's theme deals with a vignite force that exists within the San Francisco police force. The vigilantes are headed by Harry's superior officer in the homicide department, portrayed by Hal Holbrook, and administered by four motorcycle acting ability in this film deserve mention by name.
The vigilante force sets out to execute those they consider to have been treated too lightly by the courts. Dirty Harry urges them to solve the murders by the vigilantes.
He accomplishes his assignment with dispatch, treating the movie viewer to some insight into the meaning of the word.
believe that the only difference between Harry, and those he kills is "the line of
The movie's theme is interesting because it sets San Francisco's nastiest cop against five cops who could easily finish second through sixth in a contest for nastiness. Of course, Dirty Harry manages to outwit them and then to that great traffic court in the sky.
In addition, Harry foils a drug store robbery and prevents an airplane hijacking. All in a day's work, apparently. Life is never dull for Dirty Harry.
This picture suffers from the same flaws that marred "Dirty Harry." It sets Harry and a commitment to Plutch's precept that "dead men cannot bite," manages to save the day and make the streets of San Antonio long as one patronizes Dirty Harry.
The film is rescued from medicoity by its rapid action and Harry's expert use of a

cluded). It does demonstrate the rigorous training a law officer in California must undergo to teach him to shoot bad guys rather than innocent bystanders or fellow inmates. The pistol-shooting sequence, which apparently wasn't laked, was very interesting.
Aside from that, there is nothing to recommend "Magnum Force" over "Dirty Harry." If you've seen one, you've seen them both.

The movie has one feature that is an improvement upon "Dirty Harry." It shows Harry and his adversaries at pistol practice at a California Combat Shooter's pistol museum. There is evidence of probably of interest only to the avowed gunners who view the film (this reviewer inthe movie but does a reasonably good job of portraying a detective captain who has taken too much of his work home with him and becomes more than he has become more than a little unbalanced.

on "Manhole," which is odd because Slick does nothing on that particular cut. Survivors of Quicksilver and the Airplane song lyrics penned by Robert Hunter of Grateful Earth and create a fine climate of creative nostalgia for aticornados of Bay area bands.
The album also has more than a hint of Spain, particularly in "Theme from the Movie, 'Manhole'," a 15-minute song of love and the sun, which is backed by a full orchestra.
Slick lends her voice to a very honky-tone "Better Lying Down," and the evolution of Kantner's song writing moves through "Epic No. 38," a "where we are" at sort of song in the vein of "The House at Pooenil Corners."
"Manhole" perhaps shows more creative diversity than any Slick has done since Volunteers, and avoids the repetition of his name. Most of her efforts with Kummer since then.
