...waterfall, bronze plaques with the letter T emblazoned on every surface where the name Trump is not, and celebrity residents paying some of the highest prices in Manhattan. After walking through the atrium lobby, decorated with an oversize poster of Trump's book, Gorbachev is scheduled to get a tour of Trump's 26th-floor office: its wall of magazine covers, its panoramic view of Central Park, and its reflection of Trump himself in the gold mirror tile ceiling. Then, if time and security permit, it's on to the private quarters on the top three floors of the building...

"We lay down certain rhythms and grooves, establish them, then Margo and I color them. Not paint. Color. We're not concerned with reproducing Hank Williams as he was. We want his intent, his feel, as we hear it." The band, which has recently grown to seven members, also has a maverick edge that harks back to the best rowdy traditions of country. The Trinity Session contains a startling version of Lou Reed...
