...crossing traditional norteno (a polka-like music) with not-at-all-traditional techno to create a fresh genre, Nortec. In Bogota, Colombia, the rock duo Aterciopelados is mixing old-time accordion-driven vallenato with clubland drum-'n'-bass beats. In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the great chanteuse Marisa Monte is smoothly blending samba...
SETTLED. BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE with the family of MARISA RODRIGUEZ, 39, a paralyzed and brain-damaged victim of a Ford Explorer rollover in March 2000; in McAllen, Texas. The company will pay the plaintiffs a reported $7.5 million...

James Woods is gloriously shameless, or perhaps recognizes the American equivalent, which is the way that Johnny Carson would portray Carnak...
...champagne flowed, the chili was scooped, and all around, partygoers debated the Grammys. One executive described the Album of the Year win by Steely Dan as a "Marisa Tomei" win - a reference to the year when two very strong Best Supporting Actress Oscar contenders canceled each other out and allowed the "My Cousin Vinny" dark horse to steal the race. Popular feeling was that the award should have gone to Eminem or Paul Simon...
