Some CDs have a single great song that leaps out at you. Some of the best CDs, however, have a kind of engaging mutability: every song is a potential winner, and your favorite track changes with your mood. That's what Tracey Moore and Mercedes Martinez have created. The neo-soul singer-songwriters may have a ridiculously unwieldy group name, but their CD is fabulously smooth, good from start to finish. With old-school heart and new-school attitude, they're Roberta Flack plus Sade with a little D'Angelo thrown...

In a particularly poignant example Thursday, a $2 billion cut in foreign aid favored by the party's fiscal hawks (for the money) and neo-isolationists (for the principle) was dragged down by a third GOP faction that wanted to tack on anti-abortion provisions. While Clinton stands back and drawls about "sitting down and working this out" even as his promised vetoes loom, the GOP is stuck with a vow they...
