...President John McCain would not be the first Commander in Chief to snap his pencils out of pique. Bill Clinton is famous for his purple rages, usually directed at his staff. Eisenhower's fits were volatile but short. Kennedy said anger was a luxury, but his 1962 negotiations with steel companies over price controls were set back when he quipped that his father was right to have called steel executives "s.o.b.s." Nixon's anger was more corrosive. He expelled pure poison on the White House tapes and had particular enemies chased by the irs. L.B.J.'s long-standing feud with...
Visitors to the grotto-like Ocean Learning World experience the mysteries of the sea. Wending their way through a dank cavern, they are suddenly plunged into an aquatic research center lined with industrial-steel walls and exposed pipes. There they can park themselves in a yellow submarine once used for deep-sea exploration or watch wet-suited guides equipped with scuba gear investigate a simulated shipwreck in an 85,000-gal. tank...
...Unknown" smart initially but burn grooves in the head, like all the stunning tracks on the album. "Some Other Level," especially, comes on like a disease--a thickened phat pulse, thudding blood and the toss-turn turmoil of heavy fever.

...innocuous one and the Tina Turner ditty had some longevity. But what in God's name does Tomorrow Never Dies mean? And that cacophony by Sheryl Crow? And to prove that it wasn't a fluke, now we get The World is Not Enough (it sounds like a Danielle Steel novel) with a boring title track by Garbage. Bring back Octopussy...Michael Mann is one of the finest directors around. He's particularly intriguing because he makes testosterone flicks that somehow play better to females than males. Check out The Last of the Mohicans, Heat and his latest, The Insider...
...Looking Forward--David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young first album together since 1988's faltering American Dream--is grounded in the past. Neil Young, the proclaimed "Godfather of Grunge," actually seems mellow, and the album crosses the line separating eclectic and schizophrenic. It veers from the steel drum band sounds of "Faith in Me" to "Slowpoke," which has a mournful tone that is vintage Neil Young. The saddest thing about this inconsistent reunion album is the fact that it captures little of the passion and innovation that made Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young such an evocative voice...
