...rapper EASY MO BEE, merely skims the rich possibilities of a synthesis. Mo Bee and Davis perform together on just three of the record's nine cuts. Even then, they do not unite. While Mo Bee's rapping is nimble and sharp, and Davis' muted horn hot and restless, the , numbers have a slapped-together, disconnected feeling, like a long-distance correspondence between strangers. Jazz fans, like rap fans, tend to be purists. Both will be frustrated by this record...
...reconciliation both come true? Such is the seductive, fairy-tale feminism of the novelist Elizabeth von Arnim. She wrote Enchanted April nearly 70 years ago, around the time Virginia Woolf was lobbying for a room of her own. Von Arnim thought bigger: Why not a villa? Bring four restless Englishwomen to a castle near Portofino to shake off London's damp climate and dim proprieties...
...movement. By a macabre irony, the disease that wiped out so many gay men has given their survivors a sense of mature purpose. The crisis turned an often hedonistic male subculture of bar hopping, promiscuity and abundant "recreational" drugs -- an endless party centered on the young and the restless -- into a true community, rich in social services and political lobbies, in volunteerism and civic spirit.

Triumphant Serbs might try to extend their conquests in Kosovo, a province populated overwhelmingly by Albanians; in Macedonia, like Bosnia a former Yugoslav republic that has declared independence; and in Vojvodina, another Serbian province with a large and restless Hungarian minority. Finally, says one diplomat, "there is the Serb-Serb civil war" for control of what would then be a Greater Serbia...
...soap-opera slickness, Beverly Hills 90210 manages to tap into real concerns of contemporary teens: dating, parents, friends, sex. Melrose Place thus far is tapping into nothing more than worn plot lines from The Young and the Restless. The characters are all gorgeous androids, their life- styles witless L.A. cliches: the first episode ends with the gang frolicking in the swimming pool. There's something ludicrous about seeing these fantasy Californians grapple with real-world problems like paying the rent and sexual harassment at work. Sort of like watching a discussion of the Yugoslav civil war on Studs...
