...Force's latest secret weapon, a dull gray propeller-driven craft converted from cargo service, looks as slow and chunky as a pelican. But Commando Solo could prove as important as any jet fighter or bomber in the infowars of the future. A TIME reporter, the first journalist allowed to tour the $70 million plane, found the fuselage stuffed with more electronics than a mallful of Radio Shacks: secure fax machines and computers, cassette decks, compact disc and VHS tape players, and powerful transmitters.

But momentousness was, in general, not his goal. The defining trait of Ax's playing on Saturday was a striking immediacy.

The sound track for Boys on the Side, an all-female set featuring songs by Annie Lennox, Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow, hit the Billboard Top 10. Some of these singers are also represented on Women for Women, with part of the sales money destined for breast-cancer research. In September, Rounder Records will release Global Divas, a three-CD set of the premier thrushes in world music; some proceeds will go to the United Nations Development...
