Condoleezza Rice's Favorite Songs

The Independent, a British newspaper, published a no-news special edition yesterday that featured the secretary of state's favorite music. Rice provided the list as a favor to rock star Bono, who guest-edited the paper as part of a charity appeal to fight AIDS in Africa. Half the revenue from the edition will be donated to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS.
