...Wyclef Jean of the Fugees has just released a solo album, The Carnival, and fortunately he fits the first scenario. The Fugees reached the top of the charts by mixing reggae, rap and positive messages. Wyclef, as he is known, has not broken with his bandmates, Prakazrel ("Pras") Michel and Lauryn Hill--the trio are already planning their next record together. But The Carnival is a fine showcase for Wyclef's particular talents and wide-ranging tastes...
...young Elvis "a terrific crooner who was closer, in intonation, vocal virtuosity and care for a song?s mood, to Bing Crosby than to any singer of the past 30 years. In that trap, as this set proves, he found triumph." CINEMA: "After 40 years," writes Corliss, "Jean-Luc Godard can still astonish and amuse in the cinematic shorthand he virtually created.

...tenderness, there was a hint of the violent in Stewart's innocence. His first reaction to ridicule as Mr. Smith is to hunt reporters down and punch them out--until Jean Arthur's hardbought worldly wisdom is put at his service. The innocent is not good with words, so fists must serve--as Stewart shows when he tries to taunt the glib C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) into fighting him in The Philadelphia Story. Even saintly George Bailey terrorizes his own children before rushing out to do violence to himself...
...other night, a New York resident named Jean Vallely, who had just returned from California, told me that her windshield had been streaked up by a squeegee guy on San Vicente Boulevard in Brentwood, Calif.--the first confirmed squeegee-guy sighting I've heard of since this whole thing started. It raises the possibility that the squeegee guys, having heard of the O.J. case, are moving out to Brentwood on the theory that a jurisdiction that lets someone get away with murder couldn't be hard on people who wash windshields with filthy rags...
