...Whatever the truth to this murky affair, the 36-year-old Happy Daddy of bhangra is now attempting an almost superhuman comeback, releasing a new album this month that he expects to put him back on top. It won't be easy. Not only is he returning from a controversy that nearly annihilated his sunshine image. But the bhangra scene has left its founding father far behind. There's a new breed of younger, tougher British bhangra kings in Rishi Rich and Panjabi MC. Rich, in particular, has taken the music to heights Mehndi never dreamed of, fusing it with...
...America Divided?" I have been around since the Franklin Roosevelt Administration and have never seen anything like the divisions today. The public reaction to the McCarthy witch hunts in the 1950s, the 1954 court decision on separate-but-equal schooling, the 1964 civil rights legislation and the 1974 Watergate affair did not exhibit the deep schisms apparent in the U.S. today.

The divisions are the worst since the Civil War. Ralph Craig Amherst, Massachusetts, U.S. After reading Klein's column, I'm left to wonder in what ethereal realm he is living! My Republican-backing brother and I haven...
...international terrorism," a phrase that invokes al-Qaeda and sidesteps any acknowledgement that Russia may, in part, be reaping the whirlwind of what Putin has sown in Chechnya during his almost five years at the helm. Even in its most explicitly jihadist form, Chechen terrorism is a homegrown affair, although factions of the Chechen separatist movement have received financial and political support from Qaeda-aligned elements abroad - and a handful of Arab mujahedeen have long played a role in the Chechen insurgency. The Russian crackdown, which began late in 1999 as Putin sent in troops to reverse the autonomy granted...
