WASHINGTON, D.C.: The debate over indecency vs. free speech flared again as the Supreme Court refused to bar a federal law that requires cable TV operators either to block adult entertainment offerings or to air them only late in the evening. Subscriber-only, sex-oriented networks Playboy Television and Spice Entertainment are challenging the law as a violation of their First Amendment rights and had asked that the law not be enforced while a court decision on their lawsuit is pending.

None of the songs on Spice, from the slumberous ballad 2 Become 1 to the bass-heavy party jam Something Kinda Funny, come across as deeply felt; they all seem designed to amuse, titillate, ingratiate. Members of the group, however, beg to differ. "We don't try to please anybody," says Mel C. "What we're doing is what we want to do, what we really enjoy, and if people are receptive to it, then that's brilliant." The girls say there are positive themes in their peppy tunes. For example, Wannabe declares that friendships are more important than love...
