...this lush, mountainous landscape was called the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean, a tribute too to the Irish Catholics who settled there. In the 1970s George Martin, the Beatles' former record producer, opened Air Studios and transformed the Leeward island into a hip playground for the international rock set. Paul McCartney, Sting and Simply Red cut albums there, and exclusive villas dotted the shore...
Several newcomers, most notably Williams (who did Mary J. Blige's lush clip Everything), Paul Hunter (Erykah Badu, Sean "Puffy" Combs), Jonathan Glazer (Radiohead, Jamiroquai) and Floria Sigismondi (Marilyn Manson, Tricky), have risen to the challenge.

All four of these directors are up for multiple awards at next week's MTV Music Video Awards, and all four are starting...

Will Thomas Jefferson (Paul Michael Valley) have sex in time to write his masterpiece? And would Benjamin Franklin (the benign curmudgeon Pat Hingle) please invent air conditioning--right away? It's a tribute to Ellis' pristine staging that the plot moves as smoothly and, yes, suspensefully as it did 28 or 221 years ago. Come as a skeptic, choose favorite Founding...
...Kadlec is serious or not, but this tax law is no laughing matter. I don't find it funny for the government to cut the taxes of those making $100,000 a year and give practically no tax relief to working families earning $20,000. JAMES R. MCCORKELL St. Paul, Minn...
