...enthusiastic about the plan, but on the whole we can work and move forward," Sharon told an audience of Israeli businessmen Tuesday. Having risen in Western public opinion because of Israel's restraint following the suicide bomb in a Tel Aviv disco 11 days ago, the Israeli leader was content to feel pressure from his right flank in order to retain the diplomatic high ground. And having blundered, initially, Arafat added his approval in order to stay in the game...
...rock is good at one thing, it's dying, as it did, cyclically, with the rise of disco and new wave. But if rock is good at two things, it's dying and coming back to life. And so last month Weezer found itself making its debut at No. 4 on the Billboard charts, its video for Hash Pipe--an eccentric, grinding single about a transvestite hooker--breaking onto MTV's Total Request Live.

He makes five crossings a day--$20 for full loads, $15 for empty trailers that need to be returned--and works six days a week. Not bad for a single guy, he says. The Mexican trucks are serviceable but spare: Luna's lacks the global-positioning systems found...
...bags and a single guitar, the four members of U2 stand calmly in the terminal of Charles de Gaulle airport in the image on the cover of their latest album, All That You Can't Leave Behind. It is a classy black-and-white spread that strips away the disco balls and splashy hijinks that marked their work in the late 1990s, and leaves exposed a pensive and insightful U2, in the middle of their ever-changing career-long journey...
