...cracking the Top 10 with her band 'Til Tuesday and their million-selling debut single, Voices Carry. Her gorgeously crafted, McCartneyesque melodies and her lyrical bent for evening the score with slippery record execs and self-absorbed lovers not only made for refreshingly pungent pop, it also became the blueprint for today's hottest rock archetype: the take-no-prisoners angry young woman. Mann's first solo album, 1993's Whatever, sold only 130,000 copies but still showed her increasing depth as a songwriter...
...change in the landscape is already remarkable. In 1976 President Ford scored mightily when he blasted his Republican primary challenger for merely talking about the "most extreme and irresponsible blueprint for back-door socialism that I ever heard."

Located in Tooele, Utah, home of the nation's largest chemical stockpile, the facility was built by EG&G Defense Materials Inc., under contract to the Army. But Utah residents are wary of the military after the atomic-testing scandal of the 1950s. "The firebricks blew up in the kiln at Johnston," says Steve Jones, a safety inspector who was fired by EG&G in 1994, after just three months...
