...begin to think about the song "Corcovado" again, the October 1964 live version with Astrud Gilberto singing in English (her voice high and light as mountain mist) and Joao Gilberto answering in Portuguese (gentle and soothing as a priest's voice in a confessional) and Stan Getz's tenor sax sweetly flowing through the song like a warm river.

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...
