TIME: The title of your book is provocative. But you admit to having owned plenty of Beatles records growing up and wearing shaggy hair like theirs. So you weren't particularly anti-Beatles. (See the top 10 teen idols.) No, I'm not anti-Beatles at all. My point was that there are two sides to any revolution. We never hear about all the people for whom the Beatles were a real problem.

...legislation may seem a sure bet, but anti-immigration sentiment still runs hot enough in Congress to make passage of the Nelson-McGovern bill a real challenge; and it's likely a big reason the Obama Administration, which is cautiously trying to revive immigration reform, hasn't completely done away with the widow penalty on its own yet.

At mainland China's first gay-pride festival in Shanghai last week, officials shut down two film screenings and a performance of The Laramie Project, an American play about the murder of a gay college student...
...CCTV. China's "human-flesh search engine" - a vigilante Internet mob that discovers the identities and publishes personal details of those who displease netizens - also swung into action. The group claimed that a Beijing youth, depicted in a CCTV program as a university student who had mounted an anti-Google campaign, was actually a CCTV staff member...
