...refined beat of her music, which--young fans in Italy to the contrary--was less straight jazz than pop on an elegant upswing. There is no doubt that Billie Holiday had a darker genius. Lady Day's jazz was steeped in the magic and mystery and doom of the blues. Ella's art had a sunnier side, a more adaptive quality that let her be, if not an absolute original, a peerless interpreter, a superb vocal actress who could snuggle into Porter's playfulness or Arlen's melodrama or Ellington's chromatic gymnastics with equal agility. Billie Holiday's music...
...democratic reform into a two-man race with his main challenger, Communist Party leader Gennadi Zyuganov. After weeks of extraordinary, exuberant stumping and an unprecedented media blitz, Yeltsin the populist politician has been reborn, while some of the gas has gone out of the stolid Zyuganov's gloom-and-doom campaign.

Doom addict Trent Reznor, of the rock band Nine Inch Nails, has created Quake's heavy-metal sound effects. The enhancements make Quake much more realistic than Doom--and yes, bloodier. (Kids: heads fly off and roll around on the ground! Zombies actually pull chunks of flesh out of their hides and fling them at you, then explode like red water balloons when you shoot them with your nine-inch nail...
