...result of this symbiosis is Music from the Motion Picture Magnolia (Reprise), Mann's first release in four years. It includes eight new songs in a curvaceous, melodically rich style evocative of Burt Bacharach and the Beatles. Two of the best songs, You Do and Save Me, Mann wrote for Magnolia; others were lifted from Bachelor No. 2, to be released next year on her new indie label, SuperEgo.

...against the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the WTO's predecessor, although its function was similar.

"Success," he once said, "took me to her bosom like a maternal boa constrictor...
Then again, there are compensations aplenty. Four of these long-haired, T-shirted guys are millionaires; most own Ferraris (Carmack has too many for his garage), Porsche 911s or large houses built on the success of previous games. Take them to a tony restaurant, and they will casually debate the merits of vintage wines...
