...enrolled in WWASPS programs. Yet in recent years, most of the schools have come under attack on charges of abuse, including food and sleep deprivation, solitary confinement, alleged beatings and the deaths of at least two children. In September the association's Mexican affiliate Casa by the Sea, near Ensenada, was abruptly shut down after local authorities investigated the school for several cases of suspected abuse, which, WWASPS president Ken Kay said, were proved "unsubstantiated." Nevertheless, a panel sponsored by the National Institutes of Health issued a study last month that called "get tough" programs "ineffective" and possibly harmful. Said...
...trying to push someone to the forefront out of some sort of pathetic attempt to exclude artists who have a gift of musicianship: Shawn Colvin, A Few Small Repairs; Sting, Mercury Falling; Keb 'Mo', Just Like You; Beatles, Anthology III; Paula Cole, This Fire; Lyle Lovett, The Road to Ensenada; and Chris Isaak, Baja Sessions.

Here they are, in 12 choice cuts of The Road to Ensenada (MCA).

But only about 5% are as potent as the tunes here--whoever inspired it, this is Lovett's solidest package in a long, ornery career...
MUSIC . . . THE ROAD TO ENSENADA: Both Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett remain tantalizingly mum about their breakup. But Lovett, a caustic songwriter, could be expected to have the last words. Here they are, in 12 choice cuts of 'The Road to Ensenada' (MCA). Listen for the testimony and you may be persuaded that the whole marriage was fieldwork, research under fire for an album of wily recrimination. As with any Lovett collection, this one has its share of the funky-flaky. The opener, '(You Can Have My Girl but) Don1t Touch My Hat,' finds the Texan in a possessive frenzy...
