Eddie Murphy's, Don Johnson's?the trail of albums left by actors isn't pretty. Were you worried that yours wouldn't be taken seriously? A lot of people didn't know what to expect. Friends of mine called and said, "Yo, that record is actually good." Ludacris called. Snoop. I wanted to do real music. It's to get you romantic. It's to tell my gangsters, my players, my hustlers to take an intermission. It's about love. It's time to sing about some different things...
...many Governors can claim that accomplishment? In addition, Governor Taft reduced the state's income-tax rate 21%. His tax-reform package is geared to encourage capital investment and create new jobs in Ohio. Does that sound like a Governor who is an "ineffective leader"? Hardly. DAVID W.

We care about the rivalries and the spitballs...
...there's a greater need to make him a comfortable mythological figure. And of course, in one sad way to me, there is a tendency to make him a leader of his people, to reduce him to just doing something for black people. When you see him interacting with Johnson and negotiating with congressmen and marching with Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, we realize how ecumenical he was. The overall lesson here is he's a leader, and the movement is leading all of America. And that's the real emotional resonance that you get even with Rosa Parks, where...
