...themselves worth the price of the CD. "Now keep in mind, I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my shit," Badu says before introducing "Tyrone," the only previously unreleased track on the album. She has nothing to worry about. "Tyrone" is four minutes of slinky feminist blues that is sure to be the R&B song of early 1998. A conversation with a selfish lover who's more interested in hanging out with his buddies (including the aforementioned Tyrone) than Badu, the track takes Mary J.

As for founder Bill McCartney, he is a clear-cut example of a person who puts his money where his mouth is and a man to be truly admired, not feared. RICHARD JAMES SKAGGS MONTES Guatemala City...
...they deserve. Working in the health-care field with its large female work force, I have often been privy to the frustration and disillusionment felt by many women toward their men. For that reason, I find bizarre the criticism directed at the Promise Keepers by some elements of the feminist movement. I suspect its paranoid diatribe has more to do with bitterness and failure to recognize the enrichment of the lives of ordinary women, children and men. TONY KAMPKES Christchurch, New Zealand
