...with spirit as well as a home filled with hardship and poverty. To tourists who visit, it is a place of sunshine and Bob Marley, a place to get high as a kite. To businessmen, it is the bauxite (a type of aluminum) capital of the world. To Led Zeppelin, it is the proper way to pronounce the title of their song, "D'yer Maker." Yet these many shades of Jamaica remain largely separate from one another. Sun-seeking tourists are kept from seeing the poverty, while no one ever mentions Led Zeppelin at a bauxite mine...

"Before, it was rather amorphous--we couldn't stop it." Walking into...

Putting out the President's message while simultaneously claiming that he was speaking against the advice of Clinton's lawyer, James Carville hinted on "Meet the Press" that Clinton might be settle if Jones would agree to "never utter another public word or make another public appearance...
