...early 1990s at the white-collar prison where he was serving time for securities fraud. Even Queen Elizabeth II is a fan, perhaps in part because her first son was born the very same year that "Scrabble" became a trademark. (That coincidence did not go unnoticed in Britain. An artist commemorated the 60th birthday of Prince Charles and the board game by creating a portrait of the Prince entirely composed of Scrabble tiles.) In countries like Senegal, Scrabble is an official sport. In fact, when Senegal hosted the French Scrabble World championship this summer, its government commissioned a special Scrabble...

This last fin de siècle saw the rise and fall of Britpop (Oasis, Blur) and the Post-Punk Revival/New York Rock Rennaissance (The Strokes, The Libertines). Both movements suffered from the perception of having...
...rhymes, swaggers, and even moralizes through his latest album “Theater of the Mind.” “Theater” is a thematic album (though the theme behind it seems to be mood swings), with songs that “co-star” artists like Lil’ Wayne, Nas, Jay-Z, and T.I., as well as some more unexpected guests like Floyd Mayweather, Chris Rock, and Spike Lee. The first group of rappers adds flourishes of the usual gangsta rap fare throughout the disc, but it’s Lee?...
