"Feds Did a Sweep" was probably the most honest, powerful moment on the more streetwise FUTURE half of Future's album duology this year, a tribute to friends who've been locked up.

With their bouncy melodies and anthemic leads, they often feel like a tougher, more streetwise High Spirits, and if there's one thing we sorely fucking need this year, it's more joy.

Ms. Versace, for her part, seemed nonplused as she sipped a mineral water backstage and greeted well-wishers, though the no-show was in keeping with the vision she has always had for her younger, more streetwise fashion brand.

The official music video for "I Know Where It's At" was directed by Alex Hemming. It was the first video All Saints ever released.

The music video for "Death is The Answer" is very straightforward: it mainly shows Adam Bennati and Mike Conte playing the song. At parts the video shows a Demolition Derby. There is also a car with the band's name on it, which participated in the Derby.

" Los Angeles Times writer Connie Johnson that the album was "clearly groomed to offer a '90s slant to The Supremes' classy crossover image, En Vogue lifts ideas from James Brown and Aretha Franklin to create a sharper, more streetwise package." People magazine wrote that "En Vogue succeeds best at light danceable funk embroidered with soaring, swooping vocals. Maybe the album title promises a bit more than what’s delivered. But 'Spunky Hip-Hop Gals Who Can Sing Their Fannies Off' would have been just too long, we guess.

The boyish-faced Tod usually presents a glib, affable, extroverted front which lightly masks a deeply thoughtful, introspective nature. At heart, he is a serious and analytical personality type with a strong moral code of ethics. Although primarily a pacifist, when the occasion calls for it he demonstrates himself just as able in fisticuffs as his more streetwise companion Buz. Throughout the series Tod shows an interest in racing sports of all kinds, and in one episode even modifies the Corvette to become a race car.

" Tamlyn continued: "The basic set-up is an underground lair used by Viper and her terrorist cronies, the Nihilists. Leaving aside Kim Eastland's total ignorance of Nihilism which must have poor Nietzsche turning in his grave, the scenario provides an interesting challenge for the more streetwise, pugilist type of superhero (Daredevil or Cap for example), there being no super-powered villains involved. However, much of the scenery provided is directly useful in almost any scenario. Having a blank floorplan on which you position wall units to make rooms makes the set-up very flexible.

Jessica Harrington said "He probably needed it the last day because he had won his maiden without getting into a battle. The last day, when he got into a bit of a battle, it just hardened him up. He was much more streetwise and, on his work at home, he had really started to come to himself". At the Curragh on 13 September Lucky Vega was stepped up in distance for the National Stakes over seven furlongs and started the 2/1 joint-favourite in a ten-runner field.

Three weeks after the Eclipse, Golden Horn was the only three-year-old scheduled to contest the 55th running of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes over one and a half miles at Ascot Racecourse. On the eve of the race, Gosden indicated that colt had made further progress, saying "Golden Horn's been fine since the Eclipse and even progressed physically – he's filled out. We always thought that he was a good, proper horse, but he just seems that much more streetwise – harder and tougher now." Heavy rain on the day before the race softened the ground and led to the withdrawal of the only French challenger Flintshire.

Initially, Phil was calmer than Grant but both brothers had a sense of physical danger, displaying stereotypical masculinity, thuggish behaviour and a tendency to resolve problems through violence. Phil was originally depicted as the thinker and the more streetwise of the pair, often bailing his more spontaneous brother out of trouble, although later plotlines drove the character down a darker, more destructive route. Phil can be very violent, but unlike Grant, he occasionally showed restraint when dealing with various enemies encountered – exacting revenge over time, using mind games or getting others to do his dirty work, amongst other things. Phil has occasionally shown sadistic traits.

Christopher comes to look up to his more streetwise colleagues and becomes keen to be treated as their equal, despite being unable to shake off the disparaging nickname "New-man." He demonstrates his loyalty when Razz Prince, in an attempt to force the incompetent Lance out, tries to groom Christopher as a spy and feed Razz negative information about the hapless manager. Christopher saves Lance's job by leading Razz to believe he is cooperating with the plan, only to rebut him at the final moment. Christopher forms a close friendship with Janine, although she sometimes uses him to her own advantage, such as when she persuades him to play the role of a psychopathic hard man in order to impress an ex boyfriend.

Hebdige claimed that the mod subculture came about as part of the participants' desire to understand the "mysterious complexity of the metropolis" and to get close to black culture of the Jamaican rude boy, because mods felt that black culture "ruled the night hours" and that it had more streetwise "savoir faire". Shari Benstock and Suzanne Ferriss argued that at the "core of the British Mod rebellion was a blatant fetishising of the American consumer culture" that had "eroded the moral fiber of England."Benstock, Shari and Suzanne Ferriss, On Fashion (Rutgers University Press, 1994) , In doing so, the mods "mocked the class system that had gotten their fathers nowhere" and created a "rebellion based on consuming pleasures". The influence of British newspapers on creating the public perception of mods as having a leisure-filled club-going lifestyle can be seen in a 1964 article in the Sunday Times.

Lyness signed a one-year contract with Conference club Kidderminster Harriers, as competition for the club's player of the year, Danny Lewis. When a knee injury broke Lewis's run of 60 consecutive Conference appearances, Lyness "produced one fine save on a more than satisfying Harriers debut" in a 1–0 win away to Kettering Town. Lyness played six Conference matches and two in the FA Cup, the second of which was a 4–1 defeat to Conference North club Corby Town, but when Lewis's injury was confirmed as serious, Kidderminster brought in the more "streetwise" goalkeeper Tony Breeden, who went straight into the starting eleven for the Conference win against Tamworth. A hip injury prevented Lyness replacing the cup-tied Breeden for FA Trophy matches against Vauxhall Motors, but he came back in for the next two rounds, and saved a penalty, albeit in a losing cause, against Luton Town.

Stranger to Stranger received widespread critical acclaim. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 85, based on 25 reviews. In Rolling Stone, Will Hermes said it was "as inviting, immaculately produced, jokey and unsettled a record as any he has ever made", while The Guardian Jon Dennis found the album "as rewarding as anything" Simon had recorded before, showcasing a "tenacious pursuit of new sounds". Jonathan Bernstein of Entertainment Weekly called Stranger to Stranger "one of his very boldest collections to date", an album "brimming with concepts and sounds that push Simon’s musical boundaries further than ever". Randy Lewis from the Los Angeles Times believed the record was "pop music at its most artful and relevant, a sentiment from a septuagenarian representative of rock’s old guard that's arguably as potent as anything from seemingly more streetwise artists one-third his age".

Nonetheless, David says he was fired from Spectacular Spider-Man by Owsley due to editorial pressure by Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter, and has commented that the resentment stirred by Owsley's purchase of his stories may have permanently damaged Owsley's career. Months later, Bob Harras offered David The Incredible Hulk, as it was a struggling title that no one else wanted to write, which gave David free rein to do whatever he wanted with the character.David, Peter (July 27, 2012). "Looking back on The Hulk". peterdavid.net. Reprinted from The Comics Buyer's Guide ##1244 (September 19, 1997) During his 12-year run on Hulk, David explored the recurring themes of the Hulk's multiple personality disorder, his periodic changes between the more rageful and less intelligent Green Hulk and the more streetwise, cerebral Gray Hulk, and of being a journeyman hero, which were inspired by The Incredible Hulk #312 (October 1985), in which writer Bill Mantlo (and possibly, according to David, Barry Windsor-Smith) had first established that Banner had suffered childhood abuse at the hands of his father.
