...makes a decent attempt on Northern Star--the opening drum and bass notes of the first song "Go," are exciting and unexpected, and the rest of the album too, with its pop/R&B influences is surprisingly listenable, especially on Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes (of TLC fame) rapping on "Never Be the Same Again." Look out for the genuinely haunting title track. And as if to complete the metamorphosis, gone is the trampy Sporty Spice garb from before--the album cover heralds in the new Mel C with her pared-down rock-chick apparel...

For many newspaper purists it was a sad day, as the flashy newcomer that first incorporated high-tech graphics and eye-popping front-page color knocked off a sophisticated...

Sanders notes that while the Supreme Court in the first half of the century traditionally filed single 10-page majority opinions, the current court typically files multiple 50-page opinions on each side of a decision. The result, he says, is that "the lower courts never know what the rulings are. We don't need law treatises, we need rulings...
