...plucked from the ether and placed in his music. His last album, the vibrant and meditative “Modern Times,” cemented yet another victorious trilogy that began with 1997’s “Time Out of Mind” and 2001??s “‘Love and Theft.’” Now, Columbia Records issues the eighth installment of Dylan’s strikingly consistent “Bootleg Series,” called “Tell Tale Signs,” seemingly...

This makes cuts in health-education funding—down 26 percent since 2001??seem especially puzzling; each dollar spent teaching students about birth control and sexual responsibility would seem to save several otherwise spent on law enforcement, penitentiaries, and welfare programs. For a host of reasons, our society is not an accomocating place for a teen who is pregnant. People...
