...best song of the album is "Nightswimming," the second-to-last. This magical effort--a gorgeous piano-and-cello-driven recollection of skinny-dipping with old high school friends--captures Automatic for the people's lost youth theme with passion and energy. Stipe's performance is poetic. His voice is innocent, soulful, beautiful; his lyrics are filled with gut-wrenching imagery of times long gone. And the vocals run along independent of the musical score, imparting a wonderful feeling of nightswimming--of youthful bliss...
...week, a preposterous sum for the time. All his life, no matter how much he made (and borrowed: friends and patrons lent him thousands of dollars at a whack), Wright felt poor, thanks to an unhesitatingly indulged taste for swank -- chamois underwear, high-performance sports cars, whatever was gorgeous and rare...
When businesses choose celebrities to endorse their products, they generally opt for world-class sports figures or gorgeous starlets. But a travel-industry ad campaign now airing on Japanese television may prove that graying world leaders of debatable sex appeal can sell with all the pizazz of a Vanna White. Developed by Go*USA, a tourism-industry trade group, the commercial features none other than President George Bush promoting the U.S. as a vacation paradise. Over images of rolling lawns and sandy beaches, Bush touts Hawaii, homegrown Dixieland jazz and, in an endearingly shameless display of personal preference, the wonders...

Melrose Place thus far is tapping into nothing more than worn plot lines from The Young and the Restless. The characters are all gorgeous androids, their life- styles witless L.A. cliches: the first episode ends with the gang frolicking in the swimming pool. There's something ludicrous about seeing these fantasy Californians grapple with real-world problems like paying the rent and sexual harassment at work. Sort of like watching a discussion of the Yugoslav civil war on Studs...
...Broadway last week, shows how much he misses Ashman's storytelling. The two one-acts (book by Alan Brennert and lyrics by David Spencer) blend zippy tunes with cliche science fiction. A witty, upbeat song recalls how a boy fell in love with lab testing, and Ellen Greene sings gorgeous ballads. But what is this piffle about evil doctors and clones, cross-species romance and reincarnation by hologram...
