...early rehearsals, the Rage musicians--Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk--laid down what Cornell calls "riff-based, very heavy, no-brainer 'we can all do this' stuff." Then as a test, Cornell added a melodic four-chord bridge to the song Light My Way. "When nobody freaked out, I knew we were a band." Knowing you're a band and convincing listeners are two different things. It's odd hearing Cornell, one of the few rock singers who can belt it out high and clear, fight through Morello's machine-gun fuzz on Cochise. And when Cornell...
...generous bass finger styling. Gordon’s ability to as, Kottke quipped, “transpose on-the-go,” gave the tunes they had worked up together a sort of carefree ambling. Gordon’s bass notes lived in empty spaces of Kottke-esque chord changes and munificently rode the shoulders of slides and flourishes...

Even before Sept. 11, the BDK recommended moving federal agents out of their centralized HQs and into regional offices, where they would work with local agents. The idea seems to have struck a faint chord. "We do have scattered islands of information," says BKA boss Ulrich Kersten, "but the answer is to build bridges, and we're doing that." He cites a planned upgrade of the BKA's computer system (circa 1972.) But some highly touted upgrades have fallen short. An effort to establish...
...wanted, above all, "to make a very simple film about a man and a woman who fall in love despite religious differences." As she puts it, "Nothing brings out the poignancy of love more than when it's pitted against the ruthlessness of war." Sen has clearly struck a chord: the movie won a Junior Jury prize for best director at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland, and the script earned her a Netpac Jury prize for "courage in raising an issue of relevance in a work of cinematic density...
