...this album, the All Fellas Band has a large presence as well. G. Love's collaborations with the latter band, marked by the insipid rapping of vocalists Katman and Smiles, are the least successful performances on the album. Irrelevant lyrics make things worse: the content of songs such as "Lay Down The Law" and "1-76" (which refer to a personal acquaintance and G. Love's hometown Philadelphia, respectively) will mean nothing to most listeners...
...Jones industrial average skidded 319 points Thursday and Friday. Without warning, U.S. investors collectively asserted that problems in Asia are tolerable up to a point--but maybe that point has been reached. If so, any further carnage in Asia's tigers, or a spillover to Japan and China, could lay waste our roaring bull market...
...easy for Clinton to lay on the red-carpet welcome, the 21-gun salute, the Oval Office pageantry in Washington.

Those market-share points are going to become harder to swallow, though. Coke and Pepsi lay out about $2 billion annually in soft-drink promotion worldwide, and spent an ugly summer in a nonstop price war. Moreover, Pepsi has its own formidable general in Roger Enrico, as well as a new game plan. Enrico recently spun off Pepsi's capital-consuming restaurant division to focus on businesses...
