...kind of relentlessly affable confection that transcends radio formats, crosses generations and sells like crazy. Lopez, too, is well positioned. Her voice is slight, but then again, so is Madonna's. Lopez's talent lies in its diversity--she sings, she can act, and, as a former In Living Color "Fly Girl," she can dance. VH1 is already panting over her first video...
...play the cadenza with a near seamless bravura that is more suited to the concertos of the Romantic composers, thereby losing its sense of extemporaneous drama--and obscuring many of Beethoven's boldest, and funniest, inspirations.

I keep detailed diaries, never delete an e-mail, save all my notebooks, and keep movie ticket stubs from the last five years on file. Want to know what I ate for lunch on February 25, 1997? Or what I was up to at 7:20 p.m. on April 28, 1999? I've got it all. The challenge is to select the useful from the useless, the primary sources from...
