Middle-school couplets like “We sit in the grass and we talk of our pasts” abound, as do vaguely political gestures like “we’re dropping bombs we’ve made by guzzling gasoline.” She’s been accused of pretension before, but in many of these songs it seems as though Todd (an unrepentant Yalie) has erred too far in the opposite direction, exuding a conscious primitivism that keeps her dulcet melodies from transcending their stifled semantics...

For example, P&G holds demonstrations in stores and homes to teach recent Hispanic immigrants the advantages of Bounty's "Quicker Picker Upper" paper towels vs. the sponges and rags with which many were raised. Bounty's Hispanic market share has jumped some 10%. "[P&G] won't lift a finger without talking to a customer, without finding out exactly what a customer wants," says Felipe Korzenny, a Hispanic-marketing professor at Florida State University and a consultant...
