...have the advantage of using Ono's best source material. Unlike recent Cher and Madonna dance tracks, which play up the robotic inauthenticity of the vocals for camp value, the Ice DJs seem to have genuine affection for Ono's dramatic howls. The Danny Tenaglia Walked Across the Lake Mix cleverly elongates her abstract vocal--"I gave you my knife, you gave me my life/Like a gush of wind in my hair"--until Ono sounds every bit like the grieving widow she is. The Pet Shop Boys' Radio Mix builds tension around a pop rhythm so magnificently that there...

But at some Big Three plants, assigning a new task to a worker requires consulting the local union leader, who might approve the extra job but insist on a quid pro quo--say, extra break time. Such complications can make it more costly to adjust the vehicle mix--leading to unsold vehicles...
...designed a fresh, fun spot for the young people who pack Houston's downtown office buildings and high-rise apartments. The menu features faithfully prepared Hunan classics such as sesame chicken and firecracker prawns, and Huang plans to add Thai salads and Vietnamese spring rolls. Houston diners like to mix their Asian dishes but expect each one to be authentically executed. "People's palates," Huang says, "are more sophisticated...
