How's that for an e-mail subject header??

Yesterday while showing our entering freshmen the wonders of InfoTrac
Expanded Academic ASAP during orientation, we did a keyword search for
       rap music and violen*

The first article in our search results was from the May 13, 1999
issue of Rolling Stone and in InfoTrac is supposedly abstract-only.

Welllll, take a look at the record and tell me what you see.

Better yet, tell me why!! We and our freshmen got a good laugh out of it,
but I'm still not sure why this picture is included in the abstract of
this and most of the other article abstracts in InfoTrac from that May 13,
1999 issue of Rolling Stone.

Theories or explanations, anyone??
