This explains Emily Curtin, 22, who now plays guitar in a New York City rock band. When she was in her late teens in Worcester, Mass., Emily used to collaborate with her twin younger brothers to make rock-music-compilation tapes--they called them Kids' Pix--for her parents. The idea was to educate the folks, who already understood the rock music of their own warmly remembered youth, about newer stuff. "They listened to the tapes all the time," she says.

...with up-to-the-minute acts like Lauryn Hill, Everlast and Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20. And before Santana, there was Aerosmith and Eric Clapton, Neil Young and Tina Turner, Sting and Cher, David Bowie and Bruce Springsteen.

...supremely subtle parent who can share all kinds of music with her kids without also seeming to endorse the troubling stuff.

...what is perhaps his weirdest scheme, Hugh teams up with younger brother Tony in an enterprise to grow and export hazelnuts from the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. The $118 million venture comes to a screeching halt when Bill and Hillary discover that the brothers' business partner also happens to be the chief political rival of Georgian president Eduard Shevardnadze, a key U.S. ally. Months later, Hugh and Tony were back in the headlines - the brothers reportedly thought it might be OK if they stopped actually growing the nuts and just kept exporting them. Once again, the White House...
