...producer, West had churned out hits for Roc-A-Fella's intimidating trio of stars--Jay-Z, Cam'ron and Beanie Siegel--and earned praise for his great ear and tireless ethic.

"Kanye wore a pink shirt with the collar sticking up and Gucci loafers," recalls Damon Dash, then Roc-A-Fella CEO. "It was obvious we were not from the same place or cut from the same cloth." Says Jay-Z: "We all grew up street guys who had to do whatever...
...typical middle school-clique in-fighting - except that 13-year-olds don't hold the power of life and death over millions of people. What can we do to ensure that positions of power are held by more responsible, cooperative, civil adults? Jo Virgil Austin, Texas, U.S. It is absurd that New York Times reporter Judith Miller was put in jail for refusing to reveal her confidential sources and Rove remains in a job paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Apatow, who is making his feature-film directorial debut, is known for creating two generally acclaimed but swiftly cancelled shows, “Freaks and Geeks” and “Undeclared,” both of which offered wacky insight into the plight of teens and college students, respectively...
...absurd thatNew York Timesreporter Judith Miller was put in jail for refusing to reveal her confidential sources and Rove remains in a job paid for by U.S. taxpayers. It's time for Bush to demonstrate true character and leadership and do as he promised, without parsing the relative legality of Rove's actions, which were at the very least arrogant and unethical. That sort of behavior should not be tolerated by either the President or the American people. We expect better from our public servants, elected or otherwise...
