...falling. For example, in "Don't Cry For Me Argentina," her approach is almost timid. She floats over the notes instead of taking them by the throat in her usual manner. But hey, this is Evita we're talking about. Everyone knows Evita (there's a picture of Andrew Lloyd Weber in the dictionary next to "cultural literacy"). And it's still Sinead! "I Want to Be Loved By You" contains a real lyrical bon-bon, Sinead O'Connor singing...
...Music Man was No. 1; in 1960, The Sound of Music; in 1961, Camelot. Even in 1964, the year the Beatles cued kids to buy their pop in long form as well as in singles, Hello, Dolly! was the No. 3 seller. Hair topped all 1969 LPs; the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice Jesus Christ Superstar (technically not an original cast album, since the piece was recorded before it was staged) was No. 1 in 1971.

"We haven't begun to tap the potential for technical innovation in recycling," says Lloyd Leonard, legislative director for the League of Women Voters...
Stung by heavy losses and highly critical of management, many of the Names (as investors are known) who make up the Lloyd's insurance market had long demanded the resignation of chairman David Coleridge, 60. Last week Coleridge stepped down and nominated as his successor David Rowland, 58, chief executive of the Sedgwick Group, an insurance firm. Since Rowland is considered a close associate of the former CEO, dissident Names are less than euphoric...
