Back when he was 18, the self-taught pianist released Brown Sugar, a truly inspired disc that reawakened the ghost of Marvin Gaye in the name of good old-fashioned baby-let-me-put-you-on-a-pedestal-and-worship-you sensuality. Since then, a few heads, led by Maxwell, have emerged and stolen a good part of the spotlight from the angelic one's cornrowed head. Never fear though. D'Angelo has reclaimed center stage. Voodoo is thick with the same sensuality as Brown Sugar and doubly infused with bottomed-out, layered funk that recalls a smoke-filled Brooklyn...
...speak with the critically acclaimed film director Errol Morris is to look at him as one of the characters in his films. Like their dialogue, his conversation ebbs and flows, persistently returning to underlying themes even as he digresses. Also like them, if you let him keep talking you're bound to hear some remarkable things.

...determining how recent court decisions here relate to international norms, let's first look to our neighbors, or should we say neighbours, to the North. On Nov. 5 the United Nations Human Rights Committee ruled on the question of whether Ontario's funding of an exclusively Roman Catholic denominational school violates international law prohibiting discrimination. Canada, like Britain, has never endorsed the separation of church and state. Besides Catholic school funding in Ontario, all public schools in Quebec have either Protestant or Roman Catholic affiliation. Even so, international standards on religious discrimination have prevailed in Canadian public schools. The United...
