...many of its members. That's because efforts to forge internal consensus among diverse factions have left the DPJ manifesto vague and diluted. Ozawa must repackage that platform into clear messages that resonate with voters. Does "tax reform" mean tax increases or more money in taxpayers' pockets? Tell the voters which. People want elected officials who say what they mean and do what they say. Ozawa's recent denunciation of Koizumi's controversial annual visits to Yasukuni Shrine is a start. But to regain credibility and win, Ozawa must imbue the party with an identity and a sense of purpose...

...tiny groove on, the Dancing Baby was born as a software demo, but people started sending it to one another as an e-mail attachment. Until the Baby came along, nobody realized that that kind of spontaneous In box--to--In box sharing, following the and-they'll-tell-two-friends model, could ever add up to much, let alone scale to the level of a mass medium. "It wasn't as though a marketing firm attempted to create the phenomenon," says Michael Girard, one of the programmers who helped create the Dancing Baby...

...Tang Clan's last reliably great member hasn't exactly softened his material (fishscale is apparently slang for uncut cocaine), but then he hasn't lost his ability to tell a story either. In Ghostface's dexterous delivery, a line like "Workin' out, all I curl is my index finger" is less a boast about control than one more detail in a life of paranoia. The production puts equal value on melody and tension and even has room for nostalgia--9 Milli Bros. is a Wu-Tang reunion--but the truth is that Ghostface is better...

...Will you let me tell it in my own way?" begs the tough-guy narrator (Robert Arden) of this 1955 crime drama. Alas, neither he nor Welles--the film's star, writer and director--got his wish. Arkadin was taken from Welles, its convoluted form ironed out and the result renamed Confidential Report. At least seven versions of the film exist, none to his specifications. This superb Criterion DVD pack offers three variations, including a new "complete" assembly. In any form, it's a rococo mix of Citizen Kane and The Third Man: a study of a rich...
