...character whose bitterness would seem plausible, Cohen comes off as a virginal 17-year-old who cannot hold her end of the powerful dialogue. She is unconvincing when delivering brutal lines like "You middle-class Black bastard. Forget your social-working mother for a few seconds and let's knock stomachs. Clay, you liver-lipped white...

Almost. That strategy did knock out Tsongas, leaving only Jerry Brown to carry the Anybody-but-Clinton banner. Brown himself was no threat, but if he could have bloodied Clinton enough in New York and Pennsylvania, he might have kept many uncommitted delegates from joining Clinton, prompted some late- starting candidates to jump in, and kept alive the possibility of a brokered convention. At this point, however, Clinton proved the value of having developed and touted a comprehensive economic program. Aside from some other stupid errors, Brown pinned all his hopes on an eccentric proposal for a flat tax that...

This President knows every leader -- almost every leader in the world on a first-name basis. He's the one that can sit down, negotiate free-trade agreements, knock down tariffs, knock down barriers, create a world environment of free, fair trade rather than protectionism, and if you travel the road that Bill Clinton wants to travel, it will be much more of a protectionist road that will cost us jobs; small businesses will be denied export opportunities, jobs...

...Knock Me Down" and "Taste the Pain," two more songs from Mother's Milk, and the best two songs of Hits, really show the incredible talent of this L.A.-based band. "Pain" highlights band member Flea--one of modern rock's greatest bassists and one of the few who can play the bass as a lead instrument. The tenth and eleventh songs are "Under the Bridge" and "Show Me Your Soul," a cut from the "Pretty Woman" soundtrack, which in addition to funky guitar and an incredible bass line has some of the Chili's wittiest lyrics: "I want...
