...Capcom's Onimusha, released for Sony's PlayStation 2 last year. Composer Mamoru Samuragoch, 37, created a rich, textured symphony that elevates a game with a mundane plot--a samurai must rescue a princess from a bunch of demons--into a story of epic proportions. To record it, Samuragoch browbeat the producers into employing a 200-piece orchestra, including musicians playing such traditional instruments as a Japanese flute and taiko drums. The result is both haunting and inspirational, reminiscent of majestic scores for films like Lawrence of Arabia. "In the 20th century, film became the palette for composers...
...biggest distraction may come from Republican rival John McCain, who is poised to launch an all-out battle on behalf of his favorite issue, campaign-finance reform. McCain will reintroduce his signature bill in the Senate this week and unveil a new grass-roots organization, Americans for Reform, to browbeat Congress into passing his ban on soft-money contributions.

"I can't eat the bahhhg-tasting thing!" Figuring he was a fellow critic, I struck up a conversation. The man turned out to be Joe McAllister--CEO of Monimals Trading...
...boys are reportedly quite headstrong, and William in particular is attempting to find his own way. According to Seward, "William could probably browbeat Charles into doing whatever William wanted." Wherever the 6-ft., 1-in. William goes these days, there are echoes of his mother. Blushing, doe-eyed, coy before the cameras, the prince has been mobbed by teenage girls ever since the teen magazine Smash Hits deemed him a pinup in 1995--and Wills mania is only getting worse. On his visit to Vancouver with his father in March, hyperventilating hordes followed him about, each girl convinced...
