They offer six classic summer smoothies, including as the Tropical Treasure and the Cape Codder as well as five "Smoothies with a Purpose." A "purpose," in Wrap-speak, is a nutritional additive, such as ginkgo, lecithin, ginseng, protein vita-mix or nutritional yeast.

Trillion-dollar windfall or not, Bill Clinton is definitely still a somewhat parsimonious New Democrat. The President went public with his mostly pre-leaked Medicare reforms on Tuesday, a what's-not-to-like mix of senior-pleasing pork and future-inspired frugality.

About a third of the songs on this album lack musical coherence, substituting aimless dissonance and artless artiness for melody and emotion. On a few tracks, however, Pavement lives up to its cerebral reputation; these boast a smart mix of studied elegance and ethereal sweetness. Still, this is a band that needs to replace indulgence with consistency...
