...Side of the Moon and even past that, to the band's early days on the psychedelic front lines. To fans, this continuity must be just as reassuring as the trendiness [Roger] Waters has grafted onto his lyrics, which are a kind of libretto for Me-decade narcissism. Says Tom Morrera, disc jockey at New York City's pacesetting WNEW-FM: 'The Floyd are not as spacy as they used to be. They're doing art for art's sake, and you don't have to be high to get it. They'll take you on a trip anyway.'" Read...
...bruise any of the tender egos of her more senior colleagues. She shows up early for committee hearings even though her junior status means she is usually the last one to speak. Even more striking is the way she has reached across party lines--sponsoring foster-care legislation with Tom DeLay, then the House majority leader, and pushing health-care proposals with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the Clintons' nemesis in their 1994 effort to reform health care.

Since she was just a bump in her mom's obsessively studied tummy, the now 4-month-old daughter of enthusiastic unmarried parents TOM CRUISE and KATIE HOLMES has inspired online and tabloid dissections of Suri's birth certificate; blurry, telephoto-lens bassinet shots by helicopter-borne paparazzi; vivid photo-illustrations of how she might look at 20 (a bit like Brooke Shields) by forensic-imaging specialists; and declarations of authenticity from famous friends...
...were his last, and on his mid-career albums you might have believed it to be yours too. At 65, he has lost a little breath but gained restraint, and Nashville, Burke's album of country covers (out Sept. 26) finds him undersinging and inhabiting songs (Tom T. Hall's That's How I Got to Memphis, Patty Griffin's Up the Mountain) in ways he never did at his vocal peak. The aging musician doing his best work is a modern cliché, as is a collaboration with contemporary artists as a form of tribute. But Nashville is a great...
