...STICKER SHOCK When it comes to buying a new car, online shopping may not be the cheapest road. That's the conclusion of a new study by CNW Marketing, which found that consumers who seal the deal at such sites as autobytel.com carpoint.com and autoweb.com pay on average 6.5% more than those who haggle with a dealer. (The sites dispute the findings.) Doing advance work on the Web, though, can pay off. People who browsed online before negotiating in person saved...

...sticker on the cover of You Are Here labels Cary Pierce as co-founder of Jackopierce, but it would be a mistake to use Pierce's former title to define his debut solo album. On You Are Here, Pierce eschews his college cult status in favor of straight-from-the-heart acoustic-based rockers. The album crunches into its opening track, "The Best Thing," with a funky ferocity that nevertheless shows off Pierce's soulful voice and harmonics, while "Transatlantic" is a true tear-the-top-off rocker.

...back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh." Ovadia's laundry bag, four clocks, welcome mat, trash can, decorative Kleenex cover, night light, shower curtain, dishware, flatware and towel are all inspired by Winnie the Pooh, making his room a miniature Hundred Acre Woods. Even an Eeyore sticker decorates the cap of his lava lamp. To get to his bed, he wades through waves of stuffed animals that include the more obscure Pooh characters like Kanga and the Heffalumps. "I think I relate a lot to Pooh's idealized outlook on the world and all the qualities that make...

...speech shouldn't have a major impact on Bush's comfortable lead within the Republican party. "It's standard bumper-sticker GOP orthodoxy," says TIME congressional correspondent James Carney. But it should help quiet criticism from the media that, when it comes to foreign policy, Bush the Younger is no, well, Bush the Elder. Where Bush's push for internationalism could hurt him is the general election, especially if Pat Buchanan snags the Reform party nomination, whence he could siphon off a large enough contingent of America-first devotees to split the GOP and leave the White House wide open...
