This is the time the Democrats have long dreaded, the scenario they knew they could not avoid. It is that moment in every Hollywood cliff-hanger when the star gets within sight of a happy ending, only to find another twist in the plot. Yes, they have produced a presumptive nominee for President, and he has risen dramatically in the polls against George W. Bush. But just as John Kerry is getting ready to enter the winner's circle, his bank account is depleted and he's just beginning to refill his coffers. Meanwhile, his opponent, who has spent only...
...just asked that very question, after a fashion, of Disney CEO Michael Eisner. "I asked Michael, did he see a scenario where we can do this together?" Roberts recalls of their phone conversation. He won't characterize the rest of their chat, although you don't have to be an Imagineer to know Eisner's answer.

And yet it's almost impossible to imagine a scenario in which Jones can repeat the cultural dominance her first album achieved. For one thing, she won't be filling her days with phone interviews and photo shoots. For another, multiplatinum-sales phenomena like Come Away with Me have a logic all their own. Buying the first album by a beautiful, jazz-inflected underdog was an act of self-definition. Buying...
