MUSIC . . . CISSY HOUSTON'S FACE TO FACE: A former member of the '60s R.-and-B. quartet 'The Sweet Inspirations,' Cissy Houston isn't as famous as her superstar daughter Whitney, but her new album Face to Face shows she's got a throat made from the same 18-karat gold. And although the elder Houston's new album probably won't sell as well as slicker, more contemporary-sounding gospel releases -- and it certainly won't move as many units as the typical Whitney CD -- its unabashed religiosity indicates that Houston has her sights set on a higher, very...

Indeed for all the predictable carping from black men about the supposed bashing of their sex in Exhale, it is middle-class black women who take the real beating. Whitney Houston, Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine and Lela Rochon play to a new black female stereotype that is in some ways more damaging than the ones it replaces: the young professional woman who can excel in a demanding job, be a successful single mother and support her aging parent...
