...Attorney General Janet Reno and Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin will hear in meetings this week with the pastors of several burned-out churches, such misguided scrutiny has been occurring all too frequently in the federal investigation of the fires. Dozens of pastors charge that despite the long history of racist terrorism throughout the region, investigators are not vigorously pursuing the possibility that the fires were set by white hate groups. Instead, the ministers charge, they, their families and their congregations have been subjected to harsh interrogation, lie-detector tests and harassment at their homes and jobs. In one instance...

The song's video was directed by Larry Clark (his name was removed from the credits after an editing disagreement), the man behind the controversial, nihilistic movie Kids. "I didn't see Kids until after the video," says Alexakis. "It offended me as a father." Clearly, this is a rocker with adult concerns, and this mature album proves...
