...under their belt, 1997's Forosoco. But just as some musicians can act, some actors can also make pretty decent music. On Getting There, the duo's mix of country-folk and rock is never embarrassing and mostly quite solid. Actor Kevin has a surprisingly convincing singing voice that, although at times strained, is appreciably energetic nonetheless. At their best the duo is charming and even their bad moments are easily dismissed as signs of inexperience. Perhaps the most sophisticated song, lyrically and musically, is "Ten Years in Mexico," which has some wonderful moments of acoustic guitar...
...early on in the ordeal for the release of an Afghan opposition leader, the hijackers had made no specific demands after forcing the Ariana Boeing 727 to fly from Moscow to London on Sunday, and had released small groups of hostages almost daily as they negotiated with British police.

Although Adams agreed in December to press for some movement on this front, he's been unable to sell accelerated disarmament to a movement that sees its weapons as the only reason Britain and the Unionists ever bothered to talk...
While Elliot's apparent inconsistencies may eventually nullify the legal effect of her testimony, it's hard to overestimate the emotional impact her tearful testimony may have on jurors, says White. "Up to this point, the testimony had been pretty dry." And although Elliot is admittedly unclear as to who yelled "Gun!" it may not matter in the long run. " There are two questions at the heart of this case," says White. "Did the police officers warn Diallo before they started shooting him, and did they keep shooting him after he'd gone down?" Even assuming the police did shout...
