...Nullset dominated the room for the next five minutes, their song “Smokewood” blazing from every scorching hot speaker. Involuntarily, I found myself grooving to the music, and I soon saw I wasn’t alone. Jumping, jiving and thrashing about with genuine, inspired abandon, Nullset frontman Ken Smith led the band in a musically cathartic scream of rage that seemed to tear out his vocal cords. Honest to God, I could feel my blood bouncing and internal organs being rearranged by the raw power in “Smokewood...
...course, some of the conservative elements in the administration argue that the U.S. should abandon "strategic ambiguity" in favor of a more direct commitment to Taiwan, but this is not administration policy.

In the short run, it seems to be sticking with youth - one high-profile project for next year is "Smallville," about Superman's teen years - but losing "Buffy" and possibly "Angel" might eventually shake...
...raising landing, unable to slow down because its braking wing flaps had been wrecked in the accident. A dislodged antenna had wrapped itself around the EP-3E's tail, further complicating the landing. Chinese troops quickly surrounded the prized plane, wielding weapons and demanding over bullhorns that the Americans abandon the craft. After a tense 15-min. standoff--during which the U.S. crew continued to destroy much, but not all, of the classified material aboard the plane--they surrendered to the Chinese...
