This raises the question of whether to rebuild in the low-lying downtown, and Pat Owens says there won't be an answer for weeks. Kim Holmes, who lost two restaurants, says he wants to. But even though he was one of only 1,000 or so with flood insurance, his losses are crippling. "I've got 3 ft. of water inside, with chairs and tables floating around the room...
...form a sort of family under the crass leadership of their pimp, "Chief" Yang Jinhai (Andrew Li '77). The young men offer a study in contrasts: Mild-mannered Wu Min (Vinh Nguyen '91) seeks only love and a home with a blue-tiled bathroom, while hard, flamboyant Little Jade (Kim Liang Tan) has "cherry blossom dreams" of finding a sugar daddy to take him to Japan, where he wants to track down the father he's never met. And the central character, Li Quing (Eddie Borey '00)--"Hawk"--is simply drifting, kicked out by his father and without a stable...
...Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing, musing on what follies seize men after they fall in love: "I will not be sworn but love may transform me to an oyster, but...till he have made an oyster of me, he shall never make me...a fool."

The bold but ultimately mercenary ghetto-sex-bomb posturing of rappers Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim, the emotionally blunt crooning of talented teen singer Aaliyah and even the admirably artsy neo-soul stylings of Erykah Badu all have roots in Blige's success. But Blige was the original round-the-way diva; her hard, up-from-the-projects exterior made her raw vocals that much more affecting. Says producer Jimmy...
...show-stopping remake of I'm Goin' Down. Those albums, however, were tailored for hip-hop audiences; Share My World, seems designed to appeal to lovers of the Wu-Tang Clan and Lisa Stansfield alike. The first song, I Can Love You, draws its melody in part from Lil' Kim's crass but compelling song Queen Bitch, but Blige, employing nimble vocals and all-new G-rated lyrics, transforms it into something mellow and moving. The ubiquitous Babyface produced two songs on World, including the apple-sweet Missing You and the mournful Not Gon' Cry (which was also...
