...here in two forms--the original version appears along with a lovely orchestral arrangement that sounds almost completely different. This is R.E.M.'s first film score, and it's pretty good--some of their most delicate, beautiful work is here, though the sadder bits get a little melodramatic. The highlight of the album is "This Friendly World," with Michael Stipe and Jim Carrey trading off on vocals and at one point singing every other word; it will be interesting, to say the least, to see how this kooky number fits into the film.

"Gore and Bradley have so many similar ideas, and at a time when voters seem to be yearning for someone new, and looking for a fresh start, Gore really has no choice but to highlight any differences he can find in his and Bradley's positions," says TIME Washington correspondent Karen Tumulty. Even if that means risking the loss of a few voters - and maybe getting into a few well-timed battles. "As Bradley runs to the left of Gore, the vice president is going...
