...universal language. Often, in fact, it is an expression of what divides us--Shania Twain and Tupac Shakur don't share much of a crossover audience. It's therefore a delight to encounter two engaging, offbeat new rap groups, the Japanese-American duo Cibo Matto and the Haitian-American trio the Fugees. Neither makes overtly integrationist music--no hip-hop covers of We Shall Overcome--but both of them cross cultural and musical boundaries to create a sound that is bold and fresh...
...John Pappas as the tornado at the center of "City Hall", a cluttered drama that imagines a Faustian battle between Pappas and his deputy mayor, Kent Calhoun (John Cusack). Because the story was written by Ken Lipper, a deputy mayor in the Koch administration, and snazzed up by a trio of old-pro screenwriters -- Nicholas Pileggi, Paul Schrader, Bo Goldman -- and because it was shot in Gotham?s City Hall with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani?s blessing, the movie has a burly verisimilitude.

...game seemed destined for overtime once again, until the final unheralded hero of the three contributors would seal the comeback--Jason Karmanos' doorstep-tally gave the Crimson its first lead of the game at 4-3 with 1:26 remaining, completing the trio of underrated stars who would perhaps erase some of the fans' memories of last years playoff exit at the hands of these same Engineers...
