...some ways “Mimi” is manlier than previous Carey outings. Hip-hop impresario Jermaine Dupri produced the album’s chart-topping singles, including “We Belong Together.” Hip-hop is manly, right? It probably bears mentioning that Dupri is best known for his work with the pint-sized rap prodigy Lil’ Bow Wow. The kid is no Tupac, but he’s street, or at least pretends...
...time on his side. As the markets - and middle-class portfolios - continue to sag, as the fruits of eight years of Clintonian Mideast peacemaking continue to taste bitter, as oil continues its dramatic reappearance on the nation's political and economic stage, Bush's increasingly articulate calls for a manlier U.S. policy - "humble" abroad and self-sufficient at home - may fall favorably on some undecided ears.

If he wants to do something new along educational lines, let him do it. There never lived a finer, manlier man than Dr. Barbour. . . . Despite obstacles, where others fall by the wayside, he goes steadily forward-and with a smile though his back may be breaking. . . . If the men of Brown become like Dr. Barbour in the next ten years, the imprint of the university on time will be epochal...
