...circulated freely through the internet after being released on one of the commercial services. Unlike REM's program, however, McLachlan's CD-ROM track is actually on her CD, giving her much more space to work with. The multimedia track is first on the album and cannot be played except in a CD-ROM drive. It is slightly annoying to have to flick through the first track on every listen, and one wonders why the powers that be didn't place the track at the end of the album instead...

"Our policy is very clear," explained an Administration official. "Normalization is linked to progress on the POW/MIA issue." That fixation has disrupted a diplomatic mating dance between the U.S. and Vietnam that had, until last year, brought both partners tantalizingly close to consummating their ticklish relationship.
