Koite’s music echoes that of his compatriot, Ali Farka Toure, whose joint album with Ry Cooder won a Grammy award in 1994. The rolling, Eastern-flavoured music combines acoustic guitar with traditional arrangements and instruments, such as the Kamale N’gone, or youth’s harp, to great effect —the music is simple and evocative, showcasing Koite’s expressive voice. While not as rock-influenced as Salif Keita on recent albums, Koite promises to be an exciting, upbeat show. —Andrew R. Iliff

Throughout Europe, couples like the Skovlind-Nielsens are redefining what the term family means in the year 2001. Forget the stereotype of a bread-winning father, stay-at-home mother and 2.4 children in a one-family dwelling, garage attached. Divorce is one factor contributing...
...evening before, Vice President Dick Cheney had handed Hastert a joint resolution authorizing the use of force. The leaders discussed whether Congress should go even further and approve a declaration of war. "Wait a minute," one of the leaders in the Hastert meeting said. "You realize the insurance companies won't pay." Silence in the room. It was true: Most insurance policies are written in a way that exempts the companies from paying for damages in a declared war. Congress, suddenly, was faced with a stark realization. A declaration of war could end up allowing the insurance companies to wiggle...
