...Bush camp isn't waiting around. Karen Hughes hit the podium Saturday to take down the hand counts from their rear-view mirror. She said the campaign has eyewitness accounts of hand-counter mischief - Bush votes in the Gore pile, and the like - and accused Democrats of attempting to disqualify the votes of thousands of U.S. troops abroad.

In her songs and videos--hits like Smooth Operator, Your Love Is King and Kiss of Life--she evokes a world of romance and longing, of continent hopping and heart breaking. Her lyrics mirror her life. Since the release of her last CD, the elegant Love Deluxe (1992), Sade has divorced Spanish filmmaker Carlos Scola, taken up with Jamaican record producer Bob Morgan and, with Morgan, had her first child, Ila, now 4. Says Sade: "My happiest moment was definitely when I was in the hospital holding...
