...latest in a torrent of albums from newcomers Cash Money Records, the same crew that dropped Guerrila Warfare, the much-lauded Hot Boyz album, earlier this year. But this album might have come too soon after the diminutive Wayne, himself a Hot Boy, ran taunting jabs on that blowup wax. Other than the chantworthy tag lines of tracks like "Fuck Tha World" and "Watcha Wanna Do," there is little in the lyrics department worthy of the rewind button, although dwell on the bounce beat in the background and everything will be all right. A notable exception is "Drop It Like...
...blowup reflects a still-wide chasm between online and broadcast journalism. "This is a journalist who was born on the Web and is used to infusing his reports with his own beliefs," says TIME Digital editor Joshua Quittner.

Bergman is pleased with the film too. "It's not a documentary," he says. "It's more of a historical novel."

But negotiations to reach a political settlement between Milosevic and the province's ethnic Albanians have stalled. U.S. diplomats managed to avert a major clash in the northern part of the province last Wednesday, when they persuaded Albanian guerrillas to free eight Serb army soldiers, but by the end of the week 45 ethnic Albanians were killed...
...that time Livingston knew that he needed DeLay's help; the story of his adulterous affairs was about to go public. At midday the two men began conferring on how to handle the impending blowup. Within a few hours, the Speaker-designate had decided to go public with his problems before anyone else did. Livingston considered offering to resign in the conference meeting; if he did, DeLay planned to stand up, praise Livingston for his courage and refuse his resignation...
