...Better" he opens by speak-singing in a tender falsetto before the guitars kick in and he sandblasts away at the melody. What Rose has to say - "A twist of fate, the change of heart kills my infatuation" etc. - is a bland list of romantic gripes that fail to diminish the song's impact one bit because it's how Rose sings that matters. Repeating the word better in the bridge, he spits the b's and drags his vocal cords across the r's until, out of meaninglessness, his meaning is unmistakable.

"The crews [of the captured ships] are not exorbitantly large," Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Monday. (That's an understatement: the supertanker's crew of 25 runs a ship three times the size of a Nimitz-class U.S. carrier, which is manned by 3,200 sailors, not including the 2,500 responsible for flying and maintaining its aircraft.)
