...dumb down the issue so much that I don't think they respect the situation as it really is," says Roger Sutton, editor in chief of the Horn Book Magazine in Boston. "Kids know that life is more complex than these books would have you believe." And Sergeant Wes McBride, a Los Angeles County sheriff's department gang expert who has followed Williams' street career, is muted in his support. "We accept help from all quarters," he says, "but if you kill four people, you still have...
...Bells must have competition for local telephone business before being able to sell long-distance service. Later long-distance companies gave $160,000 to the Democrats after President Clinton threatened that he would veto the legislation. Around the time a compromise was struck, money flowed to both parties.

The composer is Gretchen Peters, and her own first album, The Secret of Life (Imprint), offers 10 fresh reasons to elect her to the country songwriter's Hall of Fame...
...wise, then, that Parker's Mood, a tribute album to Parker by the Roy Hargrove-Christian McBride-Stephen Scott Trio, takes such an intriguingly indirect approach to its subject. The three young jazzmen record some of the tunes Bird made his own but with one key difference--there is not a saxophone to be heard on any of these songs (Hargrove is a trumpeter, McBride a bassist, Scott a pianist). The result of their duplication by subtraction is an album that instead of being haunted by Bird's ghost is infused with his spirit...
