...medical attention or had a parent already in the States. Since the island has officially returned to democratic rule, immigration officials say, Haitians don't qualify for humanitarian parole. Some of these children were orphaned in Haiti, and set to sea alone or with friends; others saw their parents drown. Because of the violence and deprivation they have experienced, many of the kids are terrified of going back to Haiti. Yet the official U.S. policy for these children is to locate relatives in Haiti and send the kids to them. So far, 60 Haitian children have been returned. But last...
...obscures her feelings (and her vocal shortcomings) with screaming and squealing. The title track has an absorbing groove, but Harvey's self-consciously raw and distorted vocals push listeners away.

It is to Allen's credit that the clarity of her lines and the sharpness of her unceasing string of musical ideas are able to penetrate the intimidating throbbing set up by Carter and Williams...
...first spontaneous applause of the evening as her voice rises to the challenge of the opera's most famous set-piece, the aria "O mio babbino caro." Unfortunately, as she sings in Italian, most of the audience misses her tender appeal to her dear father, and her vow to drown herself in the Arno if her love for Rinuccio is thwarted...
