...love. Though at first listen it appears to be a somewhat forbidding dirge - a slow-paced recitation of the good deeds that will put one on the path to the Pearly Gates - it proves to be a one-track demonstration of almost every weapon in the Possum's considerable vocal arsenal. The first line is understated, almost spoken. The second builds. The third is a crescendo, culminating in what must be the most fabulous single-syllable word ever recorded; I counted at least eight distinct notes.

To his father Juan Miguel, in Cuba, the Miami relatives who took Elian in were kidnappers, buying the boy's love with chocolate milk and trips to Disney World.

If Harvard is to make good on its promises of opening the traditionally male-dominated world of academia to the contributions of women, it must more actively recruit...
With numerous Wu-Tang Clan members popping up on various tracks and all those guest stars, The W becomes a terrifically varied album, full of differing vocal textures and provocative rhythmic and lyrical ideas. Guest-star-heavy albums sometimes burst apart like overstuffed grocery bags. RZA's solid guidance keeps everything together. The street-corner scientists of Wu-Tang have come up with another winning formula...
