...appear to lift the spirits of the Palestinian leader. At the White House press conference his expression was glazed, his skin gray and drawn. He canceled a press conference of his own, and at a dinner at the Egyptian embassy, Arafat behaved even more dispiritedly. "He looked sick and incapable of focusing," said a guest at the meal. "His entourage was in the same state; they all seemed unable to absorb the enormity of the situation they found themselves in." While guests at the dinner tried to discuss the coming talks, Arafat and his followers only wanted to discuss money...

...lyrics now sounding like lines from a suicide note. One gets the same impression listening to this CD, as Cobain sings, "I'm worse at what I do best" on a frantic version of Smells Like Teen Spirit, or when he howls, "Love you so much/ It makes me sick" on a jagged yet controlled rendition of Aneurysm.

Your glowing article on William Bennett topped with the halo on his head [NATION, Sept. 16] made me sick. "Life is good" for the millionaire, who is nothing more than a blowhard preacher without the credentials. Who is this rich, anti-gay, anti-choice, pro-corporal- and capital-punishment zealot to tell people who struggle every day to get by about "'moral poverty' born of negligent parenting, welfare dependency and too easy divorce"?
