...Atlantic dropped the band. Greenberg rescued them with a deal at his new label, Mercury. "It became a standing joke in the music industry," he says, "that whenever I moved to a new label, the first thing I did was sign Baha Men." But this time out sales were even worse; the group's second and final CD for Mercury sold a humiliating 700 units. When Greenberg resigned last year, Baha Men were adrift again...
...balances? Did God make little green organic apples? Kingsolver doesn't bother much with suspense in unfolding these matters; right thinking may seldom triumph in the real world, but it's her novel and she'll run it the way she sees fit. Her heroines are genuinely interesting, however, even when they're patiently teaching lessons to the benighted, and the author sometimes pokes a little gentle fun at their high-mindedness. When Deanna laboriously captures a moth in her cabin and steps outside to liberate it, a bird darts down and grabs a free meal...
...title track, which kicks off the album, sounds like greased lightning with legs; imagine a guitar equivalent of Blues Traveler harpist John Popper, and you're halfway there. But it's not mere flash; the songs hold up on their own even as they provide showcases for the guitarist's highly evolved style.

Maybe we're not. Well, that's good news, I guess. But Bush was judged even more severely. His statement that we have to stand by Israel got a "Truth." But his follow-up, "We need to reach out to modern Arab nations as well" drew a big "False Statement." Either Bush was lying or the Israeli software was trying to short-circuit any pan-Arab...
...Wall Street's wild day has everybody guessing. One thing seems clear, though: Even if it's a bottom, don't expect the good times to return just yet. With the economic-minded fretting about the winter and spring - Slowdown? Inflation? Both? - and the policy-minded starting to think seriously about the election, every earnings report is a tea leaf and every tumble a bargain hunt. The tentative consensus from the CNBC crowd is that with trading volume running higher on the sell-off than on the recovery, this thing may indeed be a bottom, but it's a bottom...
