Special to the Daily
CLEVELAND-Out of the smokey depths of the
Agora Ballroom rose a roaring sound-the sound of
rock'n'roll future. I heard it. We all heard it. For
hundreds of raving fans, many of them as fanatical
as the band, Tuesday night meant The Clash, and
The Clash meant something close to ecstacy.
"If you had virginity," one man who called him-
self Abbie Hoffman said to his female companion
after the show ended, "you could consider it lost."
He went on: "I wouldn't have been closer to
Strummer if I had been fucking him. I wouldn't
have been closer to them (referring to the crowd,
which was so thick you didn't have to do anything to
stand up) if I had been fucking them."
THE SHOW, which was a benefit for a Vietnam
vet who lost his legs in'the war, opened with local
folksinger Alex Bevan. But since the road from Ann
Arbor to Cleveland contained just a few too many
possibilities for wrong turns, we got to the Agora
just after his set ended.
Bo Diddley, a legend if I eve' saw or heard one,
ambled onto the stage a few minutes later. After
much tuning, he broke into the riff that spawned
countless rock'n'roll songs-"Not Fade Away,"

MEXICO CITY (AP) - President
Carter was challenged yesterday by
Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo
to abandon the United States' big
brother view of Mexico and establish a
relationship based on equality.
The Mexican president, publicly ad-
monishing the United States to revise
its Mexican policies, told Carter:
"OUR PEOPLES want definitive
agreements, not circumstantial , con-
cessions."
Lopez Portillo's comments, during a
toast at a state luncheon honoring Car-
ter, were the first demonstration during
the start of Carter's 48-hour visit that

the U.S. energy shortage and Mexico's
newfound energy wealth have troubled
U.S.-Mexican relations.
Carter was greeted on his arrival
here by 5,000 flag-waving Mexicans.
Speaking first in Spanish, then in
English, he said his visit offered a
chance to resolve differences "in a
spirit of peace, friendship, and mutual
respect, We have a great deal° to ac-
complish."
BUT THE airport reception, under
overcast smoggy skies and with the
temperature hovering around 70
degrees, was considered cool by Latin
American standards.
Almost, immediately after the
ceremonies, Carter and Lopez Portillo
met for 90 minutes at the National
Palace. The U.S. President then toured
the ruins of an Aztec temple and atten-
ded the luncheon.
There, he said the United States
recognizes that Mexico's independent
voice is heard "with increasing
strength and persuasiveness." He con-
ceded that the two countries sometimes
view each other with "a lack of under-
standing."
LOPEZ PORTILLO chided the
United States for "still . .. redefining
its policies" toward Mexico, and stated
that differences between the two
nations can be viewed "as a problem"
or "as a conflict."
Referring to his nation's oil and
natural gas supplies, Lopez Portillo.
said, "Mexico has.. suddenly found
itself the center of American attention
-attention that is a surprising mixture
of interest, disdain and fear, much like
the recurring vague fears you your-
selves inspire in certain areas of our
national subconscious."
The Mexican leader challenged Car-
ter to deal with the problems of the two
nations "by keeping insensitivity, am-
bition, fear or , self-seeking
manipulation from casting a shadow on,
