...faces two threats: the Sunni insurgency in the west and al-Sadr rebellion in the south. He sat down last week in Baghdad for an interview with TIME reporter Christopher Allbritton. Iraqi police officers stood nearby, but signs of U.S. patronage were everywhere. Even the air conditioners bore the label PROPERTY OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. Dressed in a natty plaid suit, Allawi was alternately avuncular and forceful...
...know it. As they chomp through the bitterbrush of California's high desert, their ears waggle a plastic ID tag adorned with a tiny American flag.

Davis keeps a hand in all phases of Mannheim Steamroller production. He composes, arranges and plays drums with the band. As owner of the label, he rakes in as much as $6 on every album sold, compared with the $1 or less many other major artists make. Back in the 1980s, Davis promoted Mannheim Steamroller by offering its trademark mixture of New Age melodies interspersed with sound effects (notably in the Fresh Aire CD series) to stereo...
