...bless Monica Lewinsky," began a Michael Kinsley column a few weeks ago in Slate, the Microsoft-backed online magazine he edits. Kinsley was crowing about the Webzine's jump in readership: 270,000 different visitors in January, nearly double the audience of a month earlier. The Monica-fueled boost has emboldened Slate slate.com to once again take a step that it tried and aborted just a year earlier: ask its audience of freeloaders to become paying subscribers...

The new CD--12 songs of inspiration, from The Rose to God Bless America--rarely unleashes Rimes' gloriously freaky soprano; at times she sounds intimidated, like a child called on to sing before stern church elders. Only in an a cappella National Anthem does she let loose the trills and glissandi; but, really, is that a cut you'll want to play...
