...Staten Island, Susan Molinari is one of the rising stars of the Republican Party, and the keynote speaker of the party's National Convention scheduled to speak Tuesday night. For her whole career, Molinari has opposed calls for a constitutional amendment banning abortion, and the prosecution of doctors who perform them, two items specifically mentioned in the Republican Party Platform. Bob Dole picked Molinari for the role in a gesture TIME's Elaine Rivera calls "an olive branch to moderate, pro-choice Republicans." Falling into step with the moderate line that dissent is healthy, Molinari has already said she will...
...drinking, the unpredictability, even the out-of-control Dalmatian, were all part of Sublime's volatile appeal.

The Dick Enberg Moment has become the tail wagging the dog. The spot on fencer Peter Westbrook prevailing over his humble beginnings ran four minutes, and we saw only three seconds of Westbrook actually jousting...
...about relationships," she says. "I've been in the middle of a couple of marriages, so I've seen a lot about how relationships work." The newcomer hasn't given any live solo concerts in the U.S., so the jury's not in on her ability to perform outside a studio. In the meantime, though, Tidal shows that something good can come from the end of a marriage...
