Thus, Souter has enjoyed a relatively easy ride through the confirmation process. The invisible man from New Hampshire did sketch a vague self-portrait--carefully depicting himself as a moderate with an open mind--but avoided divulging his views on specific issues, most notably abortion...
...Brooks, who co-wrote only three of the cuts on his new second album, No Fences, is more actor than writer; he knows how to put some spin on the standard bio. "Not knowin' nothin' about a lot of stuff, that's me," he says, before launching into a sketch of his college experience ("I was a javelin thrower; at least I wore a uniform that said I was"); his early years with music ("Stunk at everything I did.

For he was essentially a sketch artist, creator on TV's Saturday Night Live of marvelous and curiously healing parodies of racial stereotypes: Tyrone Green, Velvet Jones, the glorious Buckwheat. His best early movies, 48 Hrs. and Trading Places, permitted him the freedom to do variations on these characters, but he didn't have to carry these pictures...
