Prince3121(Universal)3 of 5 StarsBy BERNARD L. PARHAMCrimson staff writerPrince doesn’t release records—he stages “comebacks.” The Artist reached his creative apogee in the late eighties with his landmark double album, “Sign ‘O’ the Times”, and each of his subsequent releases has struggled to recreate that recording’s effortless songcraft, crack musicianship, and irrepressible joie de vivre. Prince’s high-profile disputes with the label executives at Warner Brothers Records, and his failed...

Pressure on de Villepin to ditch a controversial labor law grew dramatically Tuesday, when nation-wide protests produced an unexpectedly high turnout of nearly three million demonstrators. In Paris alone, more than a million transport workers, civil servants, and an array of public sector employees heeded union calls to stay away from work and join demonstrating high school and college students...
