...social issues, where Forbes' views seem less fully formed, his instincts run the gamut from noblesse oblige to let-them-eat-cake. He owns his home, for instance, so why shouldn't tenants in public housing have a chance to own theirs? He sends his kids to private schools, so he champions school choice and vouchers, detests the national teachers' union (which he dubs the "Neanderthal" Education Association) and rejects as an unwarranted intrusion the once bipartisan movement for national learning standards that culminated in President Clinton's Goals 2000 initiative.

...atmospheric dirge. Like the Fugees, Cibo Matto provides a twist on rap, a genre in which groups seem to have the shelf life of yogurt. No need to try to identify the taste--from Tokyo or Trenton or Port-au-Prince. As Hatori sings on Cibo Matto's Birthday Cake: "Shut...

Every dish was prepared the old-fashioned Louisiana way, with generous dollops of oil; every bite tasted heavenly. Yet the whole thing, from soup to dessert, was a low-fat meal. That's because Chef Folse had cooked it not with conventional oil but rather with an experimental...
