...Ashcroft offered last Thursday to give three-year S visas (known by immigration lawyers as "snitch visas") as a reward for useful information provided by interviewees or anybody else, here or abroad, who knows anything about terrorist plots. At least he knows that when you're not good at sweet talk, a real sweetener always works...
...bulky boxed set went to No. 1 in 1971, propelled by such hits as My Sweet Lord and What Is Life. Harrison had found a new spiritual mentor, Srila Prabhupada of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, and Hindu sentiments and sounds permeate the record, further spurring sitar sales and causing many listeners to investigate Eastern religions.

Afterwards, Aaliyah's character struts away, happy and satisfied with the mayhem she has just brought about. "It's a very cool scene...
...decidedly un-traditional (Louis Armstong on “Zat You, Santa Claus”), there is hardly an errant note on their disc. Joe Williams, with his voice of liquid gold, oozes sophistication from every pore during “Let it Snow!” Sentimental and sweet without ever saccharine, Williams’ arrangement presents perhaps the best version of the song ever recorded. Pianist Bill Evans strays away from the vocals and brings his light, lyrical tone and novel improvisation to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” elevating the joyful...
