...SITE SEEING Excuse Me While I Kiss this Guy... You know that part in U2's [She Moves in] Mysterious Ways where Bono starts singing about "Shamu the Mysterious Whale" and ... Wait a minute! Chalk up another entry on KissThisGuy.com(as in Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze lyric "kiss the sky"), the archive of misheard, misunderstood and mangled song lyrics. Perplexed by the Ramones' "I want a piece of date bread"? What they really sang was "I wanna be sedated." If this doesn't change the way you hear music, then "the ants are my friends is blowin...
...traffic jams, crowded streets and churning factories pour forth unbidden, like evil genies from a bottle. Clearly, the island has an image problem. Most visitors land at utilitarian Chiang Kai-shek International Airport and drive to Taipei, where they spend a few days in the city's perpetual gray haze. But Taipei and the industrial west coast are only a small part of Taiwan. The rest of the island is covered with remote, forested mountains, which are laced with hundreds of hiking trails. Taiwan is home to the highest mountain in east Asia?at 3,952 m, Yushan (Jade Mountain...
...coastal haze often creeps up the foothills toward the ridge but never seems to reach the sun-drenched summit. Chilai is far removed from everything coastal, low, industrial and loud.

The sugary pickup lines ("In a haze, a stormy haze/I'll be around, I'll be loving you always") and delicate music might appeal to fans of old-fashioned pop balladry but not to many edgier listeners. Of course, Coldplay isn't particularly edgy. Berryman studied to be an engineer, like his father, before rock claimed him. Martin is reported to have a fondness for cricket and to drink rarely...
...Economists don't pin down easy, and with Alan Greenspan, of course, evasiveness an art. He buried Schumer in a haze of "dynamic model" talk that had just the slightest whiff of Reaganomics to it but came to nothing. When Sarbanes got through insulting Greenspan in other people's words, Greenspan curtly quoted his own stuff, the "cautionary note" kicker about government piggishness from his previous testimony. But certainly, if those surpluses were to disappear in a gold rush of discretionary spending, Greenspan admitted, his tax-cut arithmetic would be "mispositioned, if I may put it that...
