...guitars, but most of the instruments are less interesting to look at. The commentaries and the main angle of the room focus on the history of the instrument and the way in which it entered American mainstream music. The third gallery, a paean to the electric guitar, is dark except for the fluorescent lights over the instruments. It has a large screen repeating a 13-minute sequence of great rock moments, videos on the making of the instruments and collectors' items like John Lennon's first guitar, a guitar with six sets of strings and even an inflatable electric guitar...
...cheer. The season has its immutable rituals-looking for that perfect tree, basting that hormone-injected dinner bird, setting up lighted lawn decorations (in Springfield Fla. this week, one man put up a display of two reindeer getting it on, much to his neighbors' horror-but that's an exception), and frantic last-minute dashes to the mall for almost-forgotten gifts. Ah yes, Holiday Happiness is everywhere-everywhere, that is, except Hollywood, where the promise of even temporary stability makes everyone act even weirder than usual...

He was slightly less optimistic after Sauls' clean-sweep-for-Bush decision Monday afternoon, but still thinks the Florida Supremes can "act expeditiously" to save Gore...
...Supreme Court didn't exactly rule against him Monday, but it didn't give him much to crow about. And Judge Sanders Sauls, after a long lost weekend of evidentiary hearings and legal arguments, gave Gore absolutely nothing of what he asked for except a make-or-break in the Florida Supreme Court. It was a very bad day for him legally. Does the chorus of "Gore must go" start tonight...
