...sadly lacks the Bacharach tunes and kitschy cover versions of the first two soundtracks, but it has a solid sense of pop music in Swingin' London, including the Monkees' "I'm a Believer" and the Zombies' "Time of the Season." The Guess Who's original version of "American Woman" also surfaces, the anti-American lyrics making more sense in the hands of Mike Myers' fellow Canadians than in Lenny Kravitz's. Even the '90s pieces have a retro groove: the Propellerheads' "Crash!" fairly smacks of a-go-go. Once again straddling the decades is Madonna's '60s-tinged "Beautiful Stranger...

Such challenges are met by McGee's decision to divide the woman's voice into three distinct roles: the grieving wife, the part of her consciousness obsessed with the painting...
...wealth, but perhaps the amenities it permits that increase a woman's risk of breast cancer? Maybe, and maybe not. Wealthier women also conduct breast self-exams and have mammographies more often than the average population, resulting in a higher level of detection. As with all research of this type, it would be a mistake to jump to conclusions until a firm connection can be made. And though persistent, if vague, concerns over cancer and environmental toxins have plagued the chemical industry for many years, the authors of this study are careful not to declare a definitive link.
