...hard to resist Babyface's melodies. They are gently persuasive, a shoulder massage after a long day at work, a kiss on the cheek after a first date. He has worked with the best in the business, from Michael Jackson (the song On the Line from Spike Lee's new film, Get on the Bus) to Eric Clapton (the single Change the World); all told, he has produced 16 No. 1 hits. On last week's Billboard singles charts, three of the Top 10 songs--the Clapton single, Toni Braxton's Un-Break My Heart and Edmonds' own This...
...authorities about what he had done to her. Sound like the classic formula of acquaintance rape? The difference, however, is that this case involved an innocent act of affection between two first-graders in Lexington, North Carolina. When six-year-old Jonathan Prevette planted a kiss on the cheek of the girl he liked, he could not have known how great an effect it would have.

You're the sweetest plum..."), while her TV-producer husband descends into crack addiction. The content of Wagner's satire of Hollywood is not particularly fresh, and the sexual grotesques that fill his book are the common currency of fiction these days. But the particulars of the author's images, tones...
