...eight new songs in a curvaceous, melodically rich style evocative of Burt Bacharach and the Beatles. Two of the best songs, You Do and Save Me, Mann wrote for Magnolia; others were lifted from Bachelor No. 2, to be released next year on her new indie label, SuperEgo. Magnolia may be the best thing to have happened to sound tracks since Mike Nichols sat down with Simon and Garfunkel and came up with The Graduate.

That may have changed last Tuesday, when masked youths started smashing windows in Seattle. In one red-hot CNN Minute, the eclectic concerns of a planetful of protesters--environmentalism, Tibet, child labor, human rights--crystallized right where most of them didn't want to be: beneath the anarchist banner...
