KARL HENDRICKS TRIO Sings About Misery and Women CD/LP (Fiasco) Karl Hendricks' sadnesses are our reward. Miserable he may be, but he's not about to abandon his calling: that of writing spiffily memorable rock tunes, enough of them to drag us out of our grunge-induced lethargy up to the heights of Punk Rock Simplicity Mountain (which is where Nirvana thought they were leading us in the first place, right?).

She also purports to worry about sullying her "newfound stature." When her backup trio, "the politically correct Harlettes," starts a striptease in the home of the world-famed Christmas show, Bette goes frantic: "Girls, this is Radio City! They have a manger backstage...
Though he agreed to keep quiet two weeks ago when a trio of former Presidents declared their support for the North American Free Trade Agreement, House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt was loud and clear last week when he announced his intention to vote against the pact. But NAFTA got a boost when a federal appeals court in Washington ruled that the White House could submit the pact to Congress without an environmental-impact statement, which might have taken a year to prepare...
