...sounds. His records disclose an extraordinary assortment of slurs, glides, turns, shrieks, wails, breaks, shouts, screams and hollers, all wonderfully controlled, disciplined by inspired musicianship, and harnessed to ingenious subtleties of harmony, dynamics and rhythm... It is either the singing of a man whose vocabulary is inadequate to express what is in his heart and mind or of one whose feelings are too intense for satisfactory verbal or conventionally melodic articulation. He can?t tell it to you. He can?t even sing it to you. He has to cry out to you, or shout to you, in tones eloquent...
...sides), the backing girl group (the Cookies, later known as the Raelettes) offer response to his call, the bluesy-jazzy sax solos by David ?Fathead? Newman. This was irrepressible, good-timey music, as if the early Charles had been absolved of sin and guilt and was finally permitted to express unmitigated joy. In Charles? gravelly vocals, joy sounds like the residue of a lifetime of pain. It?s not what?s been gained; it?s what?s left...

Which, if this collection of short stories is any indication, he is. His characters in Oblivion (Little, Brown; 329 pages) are corroded by a desperation to express their uniqueness: a marketing analyst who feels so inconsequential that he injects ricin into snack cakes (Mister Squishy), a homicidal substitute civics teacher whose students are not even paying attention when they're taken hostage (The Soul Is Not a Smithy), a therapy patient who kills himself after hearing...
...NASCAR racers of entrepreneurship, injecting fuel--private investment dollars--into new companies that are exciting but may come apart at high speeds. It's a high-risk profession. They have driven important new technologies to market, creating new jobs and new industries. Apple Computer, eBay, biotechnology pioneer Genentech, Federal Express and, most notable of late, Google, all grew out of daring private investments. In the 1990s "suddenly venture capitalists became rock stars," says Mark Heesen, president of the National Venture Capital Association. Since 1970 venture capitalists (VCs) have pumped $339 billion into start-ups; these companies have created 10.1 million...
