...Hendrix's popularity has never really waned (earlier this year, a rock museum inspired by him, the Experience Music Project, opened in Seattle), but the coming weeks will see a notable surge. In 1995, after a long legal battle, the Hendrix family regained control over the bulk of his music and has been systematically releasing archival material. Hendrix-catalog manager John McDermott says there are some 1,500 tapes - almost all as yet unheard by the public - left in the vaults.

...heaps most of its benefits onto wealthy Americans. Bush offers a couple of middle-class goodies--doubling the existing $500-per-child tax credit and reducing the marriage penalty--but since the thrust of his plan is an across-the-board cut, the wealthy folks who pay the bulk of the taxes would enjoy the greatest gains (the top tax bracket would drop from 39.6% to 33%).

The capital remains very much a work in progress. Many governmental functions and satellite offices - like the U.S. embassy, for example - remain a 10-hour car ride away in Lagos. The stark poured concrete design of most of Abuja's buildings contrasts sharply with the lush green palm fronds, reddish earth and mud, and huge distinctive outcroppings of coarse black volcanic rock that constitute the capital's older and more natural skyline...
