...course, the only reason hospital folk bother to ask about religion at all is prudence, not theological curiosity. In case they accidentally kill you or you otherwise expire on their watch, they want to be sure they send up the right clergy to usher you to the next level, as it were. We're not talking belief here. We're talking liability protection...
...group U2. Presenting Sinatra with a special "Legend" Award at the Grammys in 1994, Bono pinpointed Frank's appeal for a new generation: "Rock-'n'-roll people love Frank Sinatra because Frank Sinatra has got what we want--swagger and attitude." And 19-year-old hip-hop soul singer Usher admires Sinatra's I-did-it-my-way attitude so much that he named his new album after Sinatra's signature song. Usher's My Way has sold more than 3 million copies...
...John Podesta, now Clinton's deputy chief of staff, who helped usher Currie into campaign politics. They met at ACTION in the 1970s, and eventually worked together on the Mondale campaign in 1984 and for Dukakis in 1988.

Lest one unfamiliar with baseball lecture me on my fellow fans' (perhaps even the right fielder's) right to enjoy the game without the danger of secondhand smoke, allow me to assure you that anyone with any interest in his health solicitously avoids the Yankee...
...Still a Rose, is the 55-year-old singer's first album in seven years and her finest in two decades. Rose, due out March 10, boasts an all-star squad of producers, including Sean ("Puffy") Combs (who's worked with rapper the Notorious B.I.G.), Jermaine Dupri (Mariah Carey, Usher), and Lauryn Hill (of the hip-hop band the Fugees). Still, this is Aretha's show. Numbers like the cardiotonic title track urge female self-esteem; another song, the sweetly epiphanous ballad Love Pang, links the everyday chores of life to recollections of romance. Franklin talked with TIME...
