...first 90 piquant seconds of Gedida, infused with Mediterranean motifs, Egyptian strings, bittersweet melody and digitized beats, cause forgotten limbs to tap, twiddle, turn and trot. Atlas, an Egyptian-Palestinain-half-Muslim-half-Jewish-singer-belly-dancer, Brussels-born and U.K.-raised, has performed in London with Jah Wobble, the club fusion outlet Transglobal Underground and in Page and Plant's 1998 European Tour. Gedida is her third album. And perhaps, enough. Atlas' climactic introduction is just a prelude to ten long, indistinguishable tracks. Gedida has everything--hip hop, London dance beats, samplings from Rob Base & E-Z Rock, industrial...
...dance community has put together this eclectic mix of ballet, tap, ballroom and modern dance. Ravel's "Bolero" is juxtaposed with Bernstein's "West Side Story." Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" with Pugni's "Pas de Quatre." And Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." Show goes from April 15-17 at 8 p.m. and April...
Instead of rallying Republicans, the Balkan showdown has exposed how divided the party is over America's duties in the post-cold war world.

TESTING THE WATERS Don't assume bottled water is always cleaner or safer than tap, warns an environmental advocacy group. The Natural Resources Defense Council tested 1,000 samples of 103 brands and found that while the quality of most samples was fine, at least a third had levels of bacteria and chemicals that exceeded the industry's own purity guidelines. Nearly a quarter violated California's stringent standards for chemicals such as arsenic. The industry stands by its brands; so, it seems, does the government. Federal agencies, says the NRDC, don't test bottled water as frequently as they...
...accesory. The always-questionable health benefits of bottled water (Perrier, the trendy water of the '80s, was found to contain carcinogenic benzene in 1990) might have been how you justified buying bottled water, but the sad fact is you simply couldn't be seen at the health club with tap. You had to have the right "designer water," as Gary Trudeau called...
