These people mirror Bush, his backers say. Like them, he trusts his gut, takes risks and casts a wide net for advice. He'll need all he can get, because when he finally breaks his policy silence, he'll have to make the case for evicting a party that might as well change its name to Dow 10,000. "This has been the cotton-candy decade," says Bush's chief economic adviser, Larry Lindsey, taste-testing a theme last week. "It's mostly spin, all sweet and no sweat. Yes, people are happy, but...we've let Social Security stagnate...
...Latin pop in 1999. That's the hope, anyway, of a handful of U.S. record executives who are betting big that a pack of new Latin music stars can cross over and tap the vast English-speaking market. "I have no crystal ball, but my gut tells me that Latin music can be the next big reservoir of talent for mainstream superstars," says Sony Music chief Tommy Mottola, whose company is spending millions hiring market-savvy producers like Puff Daddy and David Foster to help Latin pop join country and hip-hop in the American mainstream...

So the middle Renaissance lute had six courses whereas later instruments had up to 13 or 14. The shape of the body also changed from being almost round in the Renaissance to having a more elongated from during the Baroque period. In order...
...dispute, after fermenting in the gut of the world trade bureaucracy for the past seven years, has become at once more serious and more ludicrous. More serious because, unless the Europeans fulfill their obligations under various trade agreements to accept imported bananas, support for trade restrictions will grow among many U.S. commercial interests and their advocates in Congress. A preliminary settlement appeared to have been reached last week allowing the U.S. to impose punitive tariffs on $520 million in European goods, though that figure is subject to review. Whatever the amount, it is not likely to please Europe, and that...
