...Chrome looks like a "best of" browser, incorporating - and in some cases, improving upon - a few of the most popular features of its competitors.

On Monday, I went to the New Orleans Jam-Balaya, where I saw Randy Newman, Terence Blanchard, the Meters and Allen Toussaint. And Tucker Carlson sounded very excited about the jam-band thing with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart that he told...
