Lost Highway, which was launched by Universal Music earlier this year, wants to reconnect country to its roots. Luke Lewis, the president and founder of the label, says today's country music has siphoned off the "twang and pain" that made the genre meaningful and distinct. And Lewis should know, since he did some of the siphoning--he was president of Mercury Nashville when the appealing but almost twangless Shania Twain rose to superstardom. "I don't feel like there's any irony there," Lewis says. "Shania Twain and [her husband] Mutt Lange are brilliant songwriters. In a twisted...
...even the pipa, however, could save seven-month-old Antonio Garcia, who choked to death in Anapra this spring. The slum's sallow air had filled his tiny lungs with dust and disease. Dr. Gustavo Martinez, director of a private Juarez hospital, watched helplessly as the infant writhed in pain before he finally suffocated.

Where attraction looms, in a LaBute play, pain must follow. It's his theme: that people, people like us, hurt people. He has the craft to ensure they do so instructively and entertainingly. The play wouldn't work as seductively as it does-the set-up, the darkening, the climactic switcheroo-without four beguiling actors who make their characters...
...severest sentence for the gravest of crimes. The victims of the Oklahoma City bombing have been given not vengeance, but justice. And one young man met the fate he chose for himself six years ago. For the survivors of the crime and for the families of the dead, the pain goes on. Final punishment of the guilty cannot alone bring peace to the innocent. It cannot recover the loss or balance the scales, and it is not meant...
