...Henderson into a $1 billion lode of extractable ore. The glitch was that the peak is a scant 2.5 miles upstream from Yellowstone National Park. Environmental groups, warning that a megamine would poison the park's ecosystem, threatened massive lawsuits against Crown Butte, the company planning a round-the-clock extraction effort. Then the Administration stepped in, and after months of secret talks, Crown Butte agreed to swap the mine for $65 million worth of government holdings elsewhere. Clinton was able to upstage the first day of the Republican Convention last August by posing in a beautiful alpine meadow flanked...
Daulne, 32, has a sad, splintery voice and an emotional clock that seems permanently set at midnight. Her background singers, harmonizing, chanting, even bleating, provide her with a vocal backdrop that's by turns naturalistic and a little coy. One song, the jazzy Nostalgie Amoureuse, feels like vocal film noir--shadowy and mysterious until, toward the end, Daulne's voice emerges from the mix with bruised passion.

...happy with the outcome, but I can't endorse the practice because of the risks. We see serious obstetrical complications in more than half the women over the age of 45." But if a woman accepts the risk, this medical advance could alter the emotional landscape. With her clock not ticking, a woman of a certain age will be less likely to size up a suitor as a potential father while he is still treating relationships as if they were disposable diapers. Gradually, it might even become fashionable for older women to marry younger...
