...really maturing as a party," he says over a portobello-mushroom sandwich. "That means everything from getting bigger to knowing when to wear a suit." Indeed, the fringe party has abandoned its own fringe. Nader is running virtually unopposed. His Green opponents--Jello Biafra, formerly of the punk band Dead Kennedys, and Stephen Gaskin, a pro-marijuana activist--have minuscule support...
...grew up listening to a lot of hip-hop and electronic music," says Benning. Her interests meshed with the girl-punk sensibilities of Kathleen Hanna, former singer of Bikini Kill, and the 'zine writer Johanna Fateman, with whom she formed the rock group Le Tigre last year. Their February word-of-mouth-only debut in Brooklyn packed a huge loft with so many insiders that a crowd stood listening in the snow outside.

On their last album, The Hot Rock, the critically-adored all-female trio dropped punk producer John Goodmanson for soundweaving Roger Mountenot and crafted fine-textured rock. Now Goodmanson is back at the desk as the Olympians (as in Olympia, Wash.) swagger back to the looser punk/surf/power pop sound of their earlier albums Call the Doctor...
