...best songs on the album is a memorable Ziggy Marley original titled Many Waters. The song has a rolling reggae rhythm and a funky bass groove, with Ziggy's murmured, soulful vocals smoothly layered on top. As in the band's cover of High Tide or Low Tide, there's a prayerful feel. The song never explodes; it builds and yearns and pushes on. Cedella and Sharon Marley add soft, sweet backup vocals. The song's sleek lines are evidence of the band's ever sharpening skills and broadening artistic ambition--pop melodies no longer satisfy. They're looking...
...DONOHUE, president of the powerful, Republican-leaning U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Donohue's party will include CRAIG FULLER, George Bush's vice-presidential chief of staff, and it also has the blessing of staunchly conservative Republican SENATOR CHUCK HAGEL of Nebraska. These big G.O.P. names should provide political cover for the White House and particularly AL GORE.

But Bush is laughing now. Rather than dip into his campaign chest, he had six donors cover the tab. Too clever, says Steve Forbes' team, which charges that the end run is a violation of campaign laws that prohibit individuals from giving more than $1,000 to a candidate. The Bush folks say that since the money went to the Iowa Republican Party, they broke no rules...
...when I look at similar setups). But I just wanted the CD player because I'd seen and used one, and I thought it was cooler than a tape player. I mean, really, any given CD looked more artistic than a cassette. It had paint already on it. The cover was art, sure, but when you opened the case, you found another work of beauty, either swirling and complex or elegantly simple, a new aesthetic by which to judge new albums. What's more, I could tell that tapes were passe. I wanted to be with the times...
