...good to be”). What is most refreshing about the album, though, is how effortless Stone makes singing seem. Rarely does she strain to hit a note or force herself to hold one. And even when her vocal riffs last long enough to make your jaw drop, Stone is in complete control. Her singing on “Arms of My Baby” is playful but polished, and listening to Stone belt it out is enough to make anyone jealous. “Introducing Joss Stone” is a modern take on a genre which has largely...
What would possess seemingly sane people to treat concrete walls like trampolines? To leap over handicap-access ramps like Donkey Kong? The answer is parkour, a jaw-dropping hybrid of gymnastics and cross-country running that is equal parts Spider-Man whimsy and hard-core stamina. The word is derived from the French term for obstacle course, and like it or not, U.S. college campuses are becoming hot spots for this exhilarating new breed of steeplechase--horse-free and adaptable to any setting.

His turnaround following that defeat proved that the front-running Texas Governor didn't have a glass jaw, that he was more than a political heir relying on name recognition alone. Today it's John McCain, the man who handed Bush that defeat and is now the nominal G.O.P. establishment candidate in the 2008 Presidential election, who has to prove he can bounce back from a humbling early defeat...
