...teen is not pursuing an acting career, but he's not exactly idle. He makes movies with his friends, does graphic novels, designs his own clothes and plays drums. "The last time I saw him," Baumbach says, "he was playing Bob Dylan on the ukulele." If folks come up and ask Owen Kline about poor Frank, he could sing, "No, no, no, it ain't me, babe...
...support system of guy pals (including Beverly Hills, 90210's Jason Priestley) is a stale trio of upscale beer-ad types. And the show's music-biz milieu is phony and dated: Tom, a supposedly individualistic tastemaker, is about as edgy as a pair of pleated khakis. (He loves Bob Dylan and hates Hanson! Risky!)

I encourage TIME to take a broader look before printing such unfair attacks...
...chairman of the Ohio Manufacturers' Association, I can assure you that there is another side to the story of Ohio Governor Bob Taft. In 2005 he signed into law the most sweeping reform of Ohio's tax structure in 60 years. He eliminated the burdensome tax on business inventory and the state's corporate franchise tax. Whole sections of Ohio's tax code were written out of existence. How many Governors can claim that accomplishment? In addition, Governor Taft reduced the state's income-tax rate 21%. His tax-reform package is geared to encourage capital investment and create...
