...offers more of Hendrix, Showtime's movie serves up less. It doesn't use any music that Hendrix wrote, leaving the filmmakers free of his family's creative control. Instead we hear Hendrix-sorta-soundalikes playing his most famous covers, including a couple of Bob Dylan songs. But the problem with the movie isn't the fact that it's missing Hendrix's original songs; it's the fact that it's missing his original originality. Harris is onto something with his voodoo-chile spaciness, but the scriptwriters give him little to do or say, and his intriguing impersonation...
...Bush's most immediate problem may be the increasingly public grumbling among senior Republicans over the state of the campaign. If long-time GOP strategists keep on alerting the media to their doubts over the governor's strategies, they may hurt the governor's ability to raise all-important campaign funds. After all, many corporate donors view their big-ticket donations as an investment - an investment that only pays dividends if the candidate wins...
...collapse, which in the end would be good news only for the narco-traffickers and the Marxist tycoons who protect them. On the other hand, regional leaders have pointed out that even if "Plan Colombia" succeeds in lowering production of narcotics in that country, that would simply displace the problem across the border into Brazil, Venezuela or Peru.

So "Plan Colombia" remains a high-stakes gamble that may well force Clinton...
...Gore may have finally overcome his Bill Clinton problem, but can Clinton overcome his Fidel Castro problem? That's the question on the minds of most observers at Wednesday's opening session of the United Nations Millennium Summit in New York, which will be attended by both men. During Castro's last visit to a U.N. event in 1995, U.S. officials naturally snubbed him and left him off the guest list for President Clinton's gala event hosting all the world leaders present. But the wily Cuban strongman, who has outlasted eight U.S. presidents, wasn't about to sulk...
Fidel Castro arrived at JFK Airport in the middle of lunch hour and snarled traffic into midtown Manhattan. Shortly before, China's President Jiang Zemin had arrived and headed for the Waldorf Astoria, where President Clinton is also staying. But that posed a problem, because Castro and the Chinese president had planned to hold bilateral talks. If the meeting was held at the Waldorf, you could have U.S. and Cuban delegates crossing paths and some words. So the meeting was moved (in secret) to Cuba's fortresslike U.N. mission on Lexington Avenue...
