...less interesting than a regrouping of the Police would be (though it's significantly more important than, say, a reunion of the Thompson Twins). Nonetheless, this turns out to be a welcome CD. Singer Annie Lennox and guitarist Stewart still work well together, and the songs, for the most part, are tuneful and uplifting. What's more, Lennox's voice has a cool dignity that imbues Peace with a depth beyond mere nostalgia...
...want Susan Faludi's pity. I want her tight little body. That's the kind of supermasculine attitude that she pines for in her book Stiffed, a lamentation on the emasculated American man. As part of my continuing series on books no one outside the media is reading ("In Defense of Irony," TIME, Oct. 4, 1999, p. 42), I want to say that almost all the parts of Stiffed I read are totally stupid.

For her part, P.V.'s school day started at 5:45, "but it's pretty normal for me to leave this late on a Friday...
...will do. He glossed over the knottiest issue facing labor: the way free trade exports American jobs and suppresses American wages. And though free traders have proposals for dealing with the problem, Gore didn't mention them. Apart from a promise to negotiate labor and environmental agreements as part of future trade pacts, not as side deals, he offered platitudes about protecting the right to organize and boosting the minimum wage--no-brainers for any Democrat. In fact, nothing Gore said in L.A. about how he'd "stay and fight for working people" would have raised an eyebrow the next...
