TABLE OF CONTENTS: This page. Abbreviated by magazine personnel as the TOC.
INTRO PAGE: A pep talk, plan of action, and some swear words. Cleverly titled, but that's not the point.
UP FRONT: means, well, put it this way--if it were in the back it wouldn't make much sense to call it Up Front, would it Kojak? Russel Simmons is carphoned, Coxsone Dodd is Perliched, Q-Tip is Q&Aed and the Tibetan dilemma is outlined.
TOP TENS: Food, feuds, snaps, beats, misleading album covers, tape tips, taking the skunk out of bud and the Bests of the Month.
GRAND ROYAL NEWS: Beastie Boy bulletins, Luscious Jackson action, on the DL with DFL, and happenings with Tha Hurra.
