...life, Eckert says, lacrosse is unique in that he always knows exactly what he wants to do on the field.

Each of these new albums also brings something fresh to the pop- soul formula (verse, catchy chorus, hit-a-few-high-notes- at-the-end-to-prove-you-can-sing) that anyone who has listened to pop radio for more than 10 seconds knows intimately.

In a recent poll covering 10,000 adults, 54% of the respondents said they felt Japan was becoming worse off. Faced with all its adversity, Japan is at a crucial point in its postwar history, and the direction it takes will be vitally important, not only...
