...perfect for her stellar vocals. You cannot help but listen to every sonorous, sexy note. Her rendition of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" is unforgettable. Merchant seduces us with her sultry vocals on "Carnival," romances our tender hearts on "Wonder" and lulls us into a somber trance on "Ophelia."

...suggest overhauling Shakespeare's work to rid it of statements like Hamlet's "Frailty, thy name is woman" or his responding to Ophelia's "Tis brief, my lord" with "As woman's love." After all, to err is human. GEORG SCHWARZMANN Augsburg, Germany...
