...safe bet that Jones' 4 percent call is simply the chiefs' opening ante in a very costly poker game. It's also a safe bet, given the tenor of the military debate thus far in this election year, that the amount of money the nation will allocate for the military in the coming years is going to be more than Clinton has proposed, but short of Jones' bid. And that could lead to a profoundly bizarre outcome. "The annual defense budget could be back to its Cold War average of $320 billion early in the next century," Korb says...
DIED. STANLEY TURRENTINE, 66, soulful blues-based tenor saxophonist whose 1970 crossover hit, Sugar, inspired today's "smooth jazz"; of a stroke; in New York City. A three-time Grammy nominee, Turrentine played with Ray Charles, Max Roach and Herbie Hancock early in his career and in 1953 replaced John Coltrane in Earl Bostic's band.

This CD does more than invoke Reinhardt's spirit...
Watching the theatrical duo gallop around on toy-horses with the lanky Greene blustering away in a puffed-out tenor and the rotund Herrera squeaking a charming countermelody seems to hit right at the heart of Don Quixote...
