It went roughly like this: "THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS. NO WAY." Albright is a savvy diplomat, and the screaming was more of a debate tactic than anything else. (She says she never yelled at Annan. Their aides have a different recollection.) But though she was doing her best to stop him, Annan was going to negotiate with Saddam Hussein...
...Backstreets may see the most traffic, but there are plenty of other roads worth exploring this season.

A Marley-ish protest song about police brutality (Diallo) is balanced by a lighthearted tribute to marijuana (Something About Mary). Along the way, there's a sexy duet with hip-hop soul singer Mary J. Blige (911) and a nostalgic, rap-infused cover of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. The CD's most striking song, however, may be its first, Where Fugee At, a blunt call for Wyclef's bandmates to come back together: "Lauryn, if you're listening/Pras, if you're listening/Give...
