...generally okay, and occasionally breach the lower depths of pretty good, but they're last decade's news; Rage Against the Machine brought rap-metal mainstream in the early '90s, the Fugees dominated the middle-'90s with hip-hop that borrowed from rock and pop, Ricky Martin filled every supermarket with his Latin-pop blend in the late-'90s, and yet groups still sell records and turn heads with forms of fusion pioneered in the Bronze Age. For some reason, "Group X Infuses Genre Y with Genre Z" is still a headline...
What is unclear is whether the Israelis have accomplished anything beyond that. Even as Israeli officials flooded airwaves Friday to cast the military operation in Ramallah as a defense against future terrorist attacks, a 16-year-old Palestinian girl blew herself up outside a Jerusalem supermarket, killing two Israelis.

On both sides, the whipsaw of violence silenced the cautiously hopeful talk of a prospective cease-fire and possible resumption of the peace process that greeted the return of Zinni to the region last month...
...Despite its troubles, Coke has seen its stock jump 19% since Jan. 31, after languishing near a six-year low for most of 2001.

And even as he made this vow, a teenage girl from the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade blew herself up in a Jerusalem supermarket, taking two Israelis with her. Elsewhere, an Islamic Jihad militant killed two Israelis in the Gaza settlement of Netzarim, and four more died at the hands of a Hamas gunman who infiltrated the West Bank settlement of Eilon Moreh. At least four Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli incursion into Ramallah...
...that movie, which drew critical praise at the Sundance Film Festival and will be released in the fall, Williams plays a lonely photo-shop employee who becomes obsessed with a family whose pictures he has developed for years. Filmed in the neon-lit canyons of a supermarket in the manner of a horror movie, it introduces us to a blank-faced and distinctly unfunny Williams. It's a tiny independent film, but the star had to do some persuading to get the part. "I had said I wanted to do something darker," he says. "I met with the director [Mark...
