...families, "--early-morning getting up, eating breakfast, getting dressed, making sure everyone has matching socks, getting the boys off to school and then going to work." But these families face a unique daily challenge: the intolerance of colleagues, relatives, neighbors and classmates. In this remarkable family album of photographs and interviews, nonheterosexual parents and their children reveal the hardships and joys of being different. In many cases, struggle brings its own rewards. Says Judith Stevenson: "We live in a kind of family that isn't shown very often on television or spoken about in Sunday schools. Our children grow...

O.K., perhaps it isn't that grand a tradition, and maybe Kid Rock isn't exactly a hip-hop mogul yet--but he's certainly making a run at it.

From her biggest album, 1997's Surfacing, the ode to love gone bad, Do What You Have to Do (which popped up in the Starr report when a certain intern's jottings to the President cited...
...favorite tactic among record companies is to pair classic rock legends with not-so-legendary contemporary acts that happen to be temporarily popular. The results can be horrifying, like mixing vintage port with New Coke. Surprisingly, though, on Carlos Santana's star-laden new album, this gambit pays off creatively. The CD features a parade of hot talent, including Dave Matthews and Lauryn Hill. Nearly every track bursts with fresh energy and Afro-Latin soul, the latter provided by Santana's mesmerizing guitar solos...
