Most love-balladeers aim for the heart; neo-soul crooners Maxwell and Bilal want you for your mind. Maxwell's laid-back CD Now lacks the fire and immediacy its title seems to promise, but the immaculate production and Maxwell's thoughtful, nuanced vocals raise the album above standard R.-and-B. fare. Bilal's smart debut, 1st Born Second, has an admirably adventurous spirit, blending hip-hop, scat, reggae and rock. On a few tracks, Bilal's eclectic musical vision flies out of control, but on the best songs, such as Sometimes, he conjures up gritty grooves that keep...
Resistance was a struggling hate-music label when William Pierce, perhaps America's leading neo-Nazi, bought it two years ago as a recruiting medium. Pierce, head of the white supremacist National Alliance, has been a pioneer in developing multi-media hooks to ensnare young people in his hate brigades. He has used magazines, leaflets, short-wave radio, the Internet, even hate comic books.

His pursuit of pure color sensation, the yellow of beaches and the purple of shade under the umbrella-pines, made his canvases radical in their time. Yet to a modern eye, his paradisiacal view of the world--a world...
...matched only by their stupidity, get trapped--in their Ford Bronco--atop an airport radar tower; a cow flies; Cuba Gooding Jr. hijacks a bus full of Lucille Ball look-alikes; and a nice Jewish couple played by Jon Lovitz and Kathy Najimy steal Hitler's car from a neo-Nazi museum. "We have, I think, one of the funniest movies in the world," says Paramount chairman Sherry Lansing. "But we have a marketing challenge...
