Among those evacuated last week were relatives of two American aid workers on trial here, accused of preaching Christianity. After traveling 10,000 miles to a country where few dare to venture, the parents had to leave their daughters behind to an uncertain fate. Waiting to board a U.N. plane for Islamabad, Deborah Oddy, mother of Heather Mercer, 24, wore a black head scarf and sobbed uncontrollably. Since the Soviet invasion in 1979, this country has seen more than its share of tears. Now the frightened residents of Kabul are worried that this latest incident will bring on even more...

There are hardly any Asian pop acts of prominence in the U.S. (no wonder some see Hikaru as mysterious). Hikaru is mounting a challenge to the status quo. On Blow My Whistle, her voice is more resonant than on her Japanese-language songs, and the track boasts beats that are more forceful. She leaves no doubt: she's got Mary J. Blige, 125th Street-type soul. There's another twist. The credits bill her as "Hikaru Utada"--using...
