...decent job of simply imitating Cash's dry, soothing tones. Most of the renditions on the collection, however, are just plain random, running the gamut from the grunge rock/heavy metal chords of The Staggers' "Cry, Cry, Cry" to the zydeco twang of How's Bayou's "Johnny Yuma." The album simply jumps from one sort of sound to another with no transition, and the end result can only be called jarring. Americana also has its share of positively dreadful, not quite convincing singing, such as Remora's rendition of "Rock Island Line." Granted that these songs do show Cash...

...YUMA, Arizona: When George Bush bailed out of a torpedo bomber under heavy Japanese fire in 1944, he promised himself that someday he would like to jump again for fun someday. Tuesday, the 72-year-old former President did just that, taking the plunge from 12,500 feet above the Army Yuma Proving ground. Two watchful jump masters kept the President secured to a harness until he deployed his orange, yellow and blue parachute at 4,500 feet. While eight other parachutists also made the jump, Bush was the undisputed star of the show. Flashing a thumbs-up at reporters...

...short of building a Chinese wall, some skeptics wonder whether the U.S. can really seal off a border that consists largely of four-strand barbed wire and the Rio Grande, and includes the barren deserts around Yuma, Arizona; the thick evergreen brush near McAllen, Texas; two ocean ports; and several mountain ranges. The Border Patrol insists it can do so, in part because of that very terrain. The vast majority of crossings now take place in and around urban areas. The crackdowns in San Diego and El Paso rely on enhanced ( technology, fences and manpower over short stretches of mostly...

...across the U.S. and into the '90s. Dunne invents a child star named Blue Tyler (born Melba Mae Toolate, or perhaps not, because her birth mother is supposed to have sold her as an infant to a Mrs. Toolate for the price of a bus ticket out of -- maybe -- Yuma, Arizona). Blue isn't cute like Shirley Temple (that "midget in drag," as one of Dunne's wise-guy industry types calls Blue's competition). Rather, she conveys adult sexuality to an unsettling degree, in part because a botched tonsillectomy (by the studio doctor who will one day perform...
