...drums, ''Tracing the lamp with my toes/ Playing with tigers 'til I find out/ Where it goes.'' At once innocent and world-weary, Jones' voice drops to a husky whisper or drawls syllables to wring nuance from every note. Painful memories appear without warning. On A Stranger's Car, Jones promises a young runaway that ''There is no one here to beat out your brains/ There's no one here who'll make you cry.'' Ultimately, though, human anguish gives way to understanding and compassion, and the demons that haunt Traffic from Paradise are banished by the angels of redemption...

Though there is no intra-family battle over Eluana Englaro's fate, the case contains the same mix of legal appeals, religious activism and philosophical ponderings. Local newspapers have been filled in recent days with smiling photographs of the now comatose patient before the car crash, and details...
...That increasingly deadly role of booze among French youths has generated a lot of grim headlines in recent months. In response to a spate of fatal car accidents caused by young drunk drivers, French authorities announced in May that bars, discos and other late-night spots serving alcohol must provide Breathalyzers to clients preparing to take to the road.
