...Cardigans split their set about evenly between songs from the new album and the older, effervescent singles. Lead singer Nina Persson, fetchingly attired in black tanktop and leather pants, delivered the band's tongue-in-cheek takes on modern love with charming, faux naivete. Flanked on either side by guitarist Peter Svensson and keyboardist Lars-Olaf Johnasson, The Cardigans were an interesting triptych to watch: Svensson dancing about his red guitar, Persson doing her catwoman-thing with the mic stand and Johansson good-humoredly adding the dark swatches of soundscape...
...caught dead discussing anything as trivial as an extramarital affair. Not when it could be debating the politics of that intrepid cartoon adventurer, Tintin. On Wednesday, the National Assembly marked the 70th anniversary of the character's birth by debating his political allegiances. "It's a little tongue-in-cheek," says TIME Paris correspondent Bruce Crumley. "The Gaullists are arguing why Tintin encapsulates the virtues of center-right nationalism, while the socialists claim him for the center-left by pointing to his compassion and altruism." And then of course the traditional chorus on the fringes cites everything from Tintin...
...going to seem a lot like Christ, probably between 23 and 33 years old. Check. Also, not long ago, I had long flowing hair much like Jesus'.

Rick Nerland, an advertising executive who served as the Anchorage bid's executive vice president, said last week that he was approached twice by agents who asked up to $30,000 for a bloc of I.O.C. votes. "I was disappointed that the person was intimating that that went on," he said. "We dismissed it on the spot." Also resistant were officials from Toronto and Amsterdam, who reported similar shakedowns in the 1980s...
...want to be a Jerusalem cop? As if the tinderbox of Jews and Palestinians living cheek-by-jowl in a city sacred to both isn't volatile enough, Millennial fever is bringing to town all manner of Christian fundamentalist whackos in search of apocalypse. "The major concern of the police is that some of these groups believe they need to create Armageddon in order to bring back Christ," says TIME Jerusalem bureau chief Lisa Beyer. "They plan to do that by destroying Muslim holy sites in order to provoke...
