...adultery, stupid; it's the lying." When it seemed last Thursday that the world couldn't spin any further out of control--bombs falling in eerie green light, members of Congress starring in a morality play without the morality--here was Speaker-elect (although not for long) Bob Livingston announcing that because he wasn't "running for saint," his occasional affairs shouldn't be held against him. He called what he did "straying," said he had "sought spiritual counseling," and "received forgiveness" from his family. Sound familiar? Lest this remind anyone of you-know-who, he asserted, "These indiscretions were...
...reasons he remains so popular. At the same time--and it's part of the same truth--those who hate Clinton the most seem to have more than the average share of him inside them, which may be one reason that spittle forms at the corners of Representative Bob Barr's mouth when he talks about the President.

He understands that showmanship need not be showy and that one of the things that draws us to the stage is the way a good set mirrors and enhances a play, yet never overpowers...
...strong. She has shown that the genre can reach down deeper than bravado, deeper than rage, and dare to reveal an artist's emotional insecurities and romantic failings and then transform those feelings into music that's eloquent and universal. She's inspired by the old masters--Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley--but she reshapes her nostalgia into fresh sounds, blending neo-soul vocalese and rap rhymes, all powered by hip-hop beats. She soars beyond easy sampling and mere pastiche: her songs are of the moment, but built to last. Listen to her voice and hear a new world...
