...will the campaign take on Kerry? The multipronged strategy is to portray him as too liberal on issues like defense and tax cuts and too unsteady about important principles. That's why the Bush campaign rushed a Web ad comparing Kerry's vows to take on the special interests with his record as the Senate's leading recipient of special-interest money. Bush takes a far greater amount of such lobbyist money, Federal Election Commission records show, but proving Kerry's hypocrisy was worth exposing Bush's cozy relationship with corporate special pleaders...

Campbell’s voice falls squarely within the Mazzy Star-Sundays-Cardigans school of female vocals, endearingly unconfident and off-key as to convincingly portray the naïveté the songs profess. She comes closest to exploding free of that shy facade in the jump to the chorus of the bouncy “Number One Son,” an album standout that keeps with the theme of precious childhood love. This creates a pleasing balance with the weighty “Your Picture,” a dark Leonard Cohen-like dirge, which strikes...
