...Death is a "sweet bluebonnet spring" ("When we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wings/ And we will fly away to heaven") in the gorgeous remake of her Gulf Coast Highway, a duet with Hootie's Darius Rucker. His gruff baritone and Griffith's twangy soprano soar apart, then join in double rapture. The instrumentation--string quintet, Floyd Cramerish rolling piano, electric slide guitar--makes the song a pretty little anthology of pop's fine old tendency to synthesize, not isolate, strains of music.

For one thing, any deal that would shield cigarette companies from future litigation would require...
...private pensions replacing Social Security. Those who can afford to put their retirement savings in riskier investments will earn higher rates of returns. Plus, those people will be freed of the burden of helping out other Americans. But as some earn more, we will surely see elderly poverty rates soar. Not everyone has the means or the know-how to make the market work for them...
