...subtle alto pipes. What she has done in Diva is to marry that voice to a sheaf of memorable songs that map the doleful soul of a modern woman. This is angst for art's sake, something she can believe in and make believable while the mike and the camera are on. At home, if it pleases her, she can watch TV, eat ice cream, be happy...
FLANKED BY 200 OTHER POLICE AND FBI AGENTS, INcluding a shotgun-toting swat team -- and TV camera crews, to be sure -- police chief Daryl Gates elatedly joined in the arrest of three suspects wanted for the beating of truck driver Reginald Denny at the outset of the Los Angeles riots.

Although an in-store video camera clearly showed that Du had shot Harlins in the back as she left the store, the trial judge sentenced the Korean to just five years' probation...
