...between Clinton and New York City's imperious mayor, Rudolph Giuliani--a notion that makes the state's Democrats as giddy as 12-year-olds at an 'N Sync show. According to a TIME/CNN poll of New York voters last week, if the election were held now, Hillary would whip Giuliani (52% to 43%), and she would be in a dead heat with New York Governor George Pataki...
...State University of New York in New Paltz. "She transcends ordinary politics here. The analogy is Bobby Kennedy"--another out-of-stater who was elected to the Senate in 1964. New York has 1.9 million more registered Democrats than Republicans, and Hillary's presence in the race would whip them into a frenzy. Among the Democrats' core constituencies--Manhattan liberals, women, unions and minorities--Hillary would bury Giuliani. The mayor's relations with blacks, especially, are precarious. The city's crackdown on crime has led to an increase in complaints against police and a sense of siege among blacks...
...taxpayers who are going plastic is running ahead of the 75,000 the agency projected this year. But this is one bandwagon you shouldn't hop on quickly.

...lite is underrated. Her lyrics are accessible and addictive, providing an outlet for anger, hope and spirituality all set to a recipe melody. Denying the quality of at least her radio singles would be absurd. Throw in her characteristic wail, a newly discovered inner-harmony and the ability to whip out a harmonica or flute in mid-song, and Alanis proves that she has sufficient tools to do more than just please the masses. The pieces were present, but there was no emotional glue to cohere the songs and melodies, the lyrics and messages into a significant, moving whole...
...takes is a doe-eyed stare and the ejaculation of a deep-throated "Girl..."to whip millions of middle-schoolers into pubescent lust, but that effortlessness bespeaks true art. Indeed, it became clear to the most prestigious publications that the Backstreet Boys had something unique that their predecessors lacked, even The New Kids on the Block (and who ever thought they'd go out of style?). The Boys soon dominated the magazines of the avant-garde--Teen People, YM, and the great standard-bearer of them all, Tiger Beat...
