Despite Room’s inherent strengths, Alicia Keys (another new-ultra-young-woman-with-substance) will likely overshadow poor Miss Branch. Keys, positively ancient at 20 years of age, has been catapulted further into public attention. Her debut LP, Songs in A Minor, has gone double-platinum in less than three months, with a no less impressive, but certainly more well-publicized effort. Like her songs, Keys is sultry, confident and poised, but she lets her material speak instead of her figure. She and Branch seem to share a kinship in that they mark a return to musical...
...parting gifts." (While that is largely true, the discovery of a note penned by Hugh Rodham, may renew interest in, and questions about, the First Lady?s knowledge of a few decidedly questionable pardon requests). Whatever half-life the pardon story has, however, it is unlikely to completely overshadow Clinton?s new role.

Bush's message was getting through, pollsters found; the ones being drowned out were the Democrats. The power sharing they expected after a close election--their ideas won, they insisted, it was just their candidate who lost--has been exposed as so much wishful thinking...
...That's just fine with some outside the scientific community, who fear the downside of genetic mapping may overshadow its benefits. If we're determined to unravel the mystery of genetic coding, aren't we opening a Pandora's box of ethical conundrums? If we know which genes lead to eye color, will we choose our children's appearance? Will insurance companies deny coverage to those with a genetic flaw? If we're capable of eliminating the genetic malfunctions that cause cystic fibrosis, for example, but only the richest among us can afford the procedure, are we paving...
