Like Elvis Presley, Bill Clinton will always fascinate us. Both Clinton and Elvis are poor boys who made good; they're both good boys and bad boys at the same time, both pious with a midnight-rambler side. They're both profound and tacky, both perpetual adolescents. When Elvis was performing, the person in the farthest balcony seat thought Elvis was performing directly for him. Go into a large room of people with Bill Clinton, and it seems like he's talking directly at you. It's a kind of rakish charm on overload. There's a disdain for both...
...five days a week at his father's house. Elian enjoyed that rarest of Cuban luxuries: his own air-conditioned bedroom. And before Juan Miguel sold it to pay, he says, for calls to Elian in Miami, the boy's father even had a car, a 1956 Nash Rambler, in which Elian rode through town like a prince, while many people relied on horse-drawn carts. "I'm not ashamed of the life Elian has here," he told TIME in a recent interview. "In fact, our friends say we spoil him." As for the world across the straits, a Cardenas...

The two have not reverted entirely to their previous conjugal arrangement. Jagger is reportedly hanging his hat, if not his head, in a spare bedroom. No word on whether there are bars...
...Beck demanded everyone's undivided attention with Odelay. Collaborating with the Dust Brothers-whose everything-but-the-kitchen-sink production methods had already revolutionized the Beastie Boys album Paul's Boutique--Beck crafted an album that sounded like it came from somewhere between Memphis, Manhattan and Mars. The country rambler was still here, but now he was hobnobbing with bubbling psychedelic guitars, booming hip-hop tracks and distorted space-age bleeps. Splashed through with enough classic soul samples to put Stax Records back in business, Odelay was a manifesto for eclectic electronica, busting out all over the place with...
