...Gavin Bryars Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (Point Music). Take one old derelict singing a strophe of a religious anthem in a raspy voice. Add one avant-garde composer (Bryars) accompanying an hour-long loop of the man's song with a kaleidoscopic underpinning of strings, winds and horns. Mix in Tom Waits for a closing 10-minute duet of almost mystic poignancy. The new-music album of the year...
...managing editor Jim Gaines met over dinner in Oslo, where Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk were to receive their Nobel Peace Prizes three days later, and considered the problem. Mandela's people told Johannesburg bureau chief Scott MacLeod that they might be able to give TIME an hour or so early the next morning, but De Klerk could set aside only 20 minutes in Oslo.

I managed to keep this crush in class by tutoring him before exam period and taking extra notes in math, a positive influence that only went so far: a physics teacher soon caught him shooting construction workers with a B.B. gun and his spring break became a permanent vacation. I tried...
...Iraq is a little more complicated than this. “I think it’s also something that is much more complicated than just the way the news media reports on the war,” he said during the event. At the end of the hour-long event, Massing reminded attendees to be realistic about the influence of the press. “I think that we can’t exaggerate the press’s influence...[but] I don’t think that we should also underemphasize the role,” he said...
