...confusion. A clear difference between The Cure and the bands they have influenced has always existed—that is, until “4:13 Dream” blurred that line beyond visibility. Formerly, The Cure united hordes of depressed teenagers behind caked-on makeup and under a banner of angst. Now they reach for modernity while half-heartedly grappling to recapture their former appeal—failing at both. During “The Real Snow White” I can almost see The Killers’ Brandon Flowers wailing about “promises made...
...months, the debate over opening up Mexico's petroleum industry to foreign companies raged in the streets. Thousands of riot police held back screaming protesters from invading the Senate.

Meanwhile, the Democrats have poured money into Lampson re-election efforts-the latest numbers from the Federal Election Commission showed him with...
...animals for meat production requires growing ten times as many crops as producing directly for a plant-based diet. The land needed for these crops contributes to deforestation—a major cause of global warming. In 2006, Greenpeace unveiled a “KFC: Amazon Criminal” banner across the Brazilian rainforest to highlight the effect KFC’s huge demand for chicken feed has in deforesting the Amazon Basin...
