...laggards they replace. The effect, however, will be felt only over time. The new stocks had not yet joined the list last Thursday, when the Dow fell 159 points, but their presence wouldn't have changed things much.

Badu hopes that she can help change what she calls the "monotonous" nature of contemporary R. and B. "I want to be the midwife to a new sound," she says. Baduizm is a gentle but firm slap that may bring neo-soul to robust life...
