...hits he crafted for the Ronettes and the Righteous Brothers are the music equivalent to the Sistine Chapel; the flimsy singles those acts (and many others) released after they broke with him are paint-by-numbers pop. As much as a Monkees fan like myself hates to admit it, their records were never quite the same after they discarded Don Kirshner, who took his team of songwriters and backup musicians with him. And speaking of the boy-band era, remember when Britney Spears and the non-Timberlake members of 'N Sync decided to not rely so heavily on hit-crafters...
...UNIFIL officers privately admit that they are relatively vulnerable against determined assailants, despite increased security measures around their observation posts and hill top bases in south Lebanon. Sources told TIME that the UNIFIL headquarters regularly receives unspecified intelligence warnings of possible impending attacks, such as bomb-laden cars entering the southern Lebanon border district. "The problem is that there's nothing hard enough for us to act upon," a UNIFIL officer told TIME a day before Sunday's fatal bombing. "We are a soft target and it's only a matter of time before we are hit." Immediately after Sunday...
...culture, this is the hate that dare not speak its name. Consider as evidence the best-seller lists, which are crowded with odes to mutts by philosophers and poets.

Reyes says the interview was a "screwup." His lack of guile and his ability to admit a mistake are evidence of good character. But his gaffe played into a racist assumption that stretches at least as far back as the 1970s, when California Congressman Ron Dellums, a black from Oakland with a long history of civil rights and union activism, won a seat on the House...
Some women admit that their own feelings are mixed when it comes to relinquishing power within the family. "I can probably be overbearing at times as far as wanting to have it my way," says the 35-year-old wife of a St. Louis, Missouri, physician. "But I would be willing to relax my standards if he would be more involved. It would be a good trade-off." Here again the attitude is changing with each generation. Women under 35, researchers find, seem more willing than older women, whose own fathers were probably less engaged, to trust men as parents...
