Generally, it’s hard to mistake the Crimson’s music page for the Billboard chart. In the past year we have spent more words on art-house one-time band-of-the-moment Lightning Bolt than on double platinum success Carrie Underwood. What explains this? The snobbery of music writers? The difficulty in getting promo copies of albums from piracy-paranoid major labels? The desire to inform our readership about new and artistically interesting music?

That attracts a lot of media attention but makes it extremely difficult for moderates to chart a viable course for the country's transition. There is no denying there are a number of pressing issues, including human rights. But those cannot be addressed in the present hysterical atmosphere. Trade sanctions only play into the hands of crony capitalists and shady wheeler-dealers, who have a field...
