Like Radish and Lang, Hanson writes or co-writes its material. It's unfortunate, however, that all three acts have come up with immature, mediocre albums that are as much fun as a wet sandbox. Each album has its moments, but they are fleeting. The marvelous MMMBop is the only really substantial song on Hanson's album (it's one of two tracks on the CD produced by the highly regarded Dust Brothers). Some of Radish's tunes have catchy guitar riffs, but none of their songs catch fire. It is possible to simulate musical maturity; 14-year-old country...
...like Ted Danson and Don Johnson, has a gift for making moral vacuousness endearing. At 35 he still conveys a playful mischievousness. He is the kid who hogs the sandbox without offending anyone...
...President showed real backbone in his fight with Newt Gingrich and the Republican Congress over the budget.

HotWired, the electronic sister publication of Wired magazine, has been ceaselessly twitting other successful sites--such as Time Warner's Pathfinder and the computer guide c|net--for offenses real and imagined. Last week the whining became too much for Suck, a trendy online journal, which posted a spirited complaint about HotWired's "constant needling" and noted that...
Evidence so far is thin. The police did dig up a large cache of explosives--sticks of TNT, detonators and a silencer--buried under a sandbox in a kindergarten run at home by the Amirs' mother (who has tearfully disowned her son Yigal). But none of it was used in the assassination of Rabin, which seemed to be carried out in a haphazard rather than a well-planned fashion. Police have indicated they intend to charge Yigal Amir and one other man with murder; the others could be charged with helping to plan the assassination or knowing about...
