...radio DJ, London Records A&R director and house DJ du jour Pete Tong brought his masterful artistry to Axis last week. And while the creator of the rabidly followed "Essential Selection" radio show may not be as popular Stateside as in his native Britain, the crowd seemed more than eager for him to begin his set. Already, the breakdancers and raver-types with glowsticks were in full revelry before he made his appearance...
...from the bastion of fairness and equal rights it hypocritically declares itself to be. Two hundred twenty-four years and 42 presidents after our nation first proclaimed its independence from British tyranny and oppression, politicians are still fervently proclaiming that "all men are created equal" and "endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights." And, yet, they are still undercutting the universality of this claim with qualifications, stipulations and concerns over offending the moral majority...
...other hands, this guy could have been an insufferable saint. Thankfully, writer-creator Paul Attanasio (also writer-creator of Homicide) not only made him wonderfully complicated--a roiling package of arrogance, humility, bristliness and tenderness--but also cast Braugher, a specialist in depthful, surprising characters. Fresh out of Juilliard, Braugher was introduced in the 1989 Civil War film Glory as a Harvard student turned soldier.

...creator of Napster, Fanning has reached a level of fame unprecedented for a 19-year-old who is neither a sports hero nor a pop star. He's been on the cover of FORTUNE, BusinessWeek, Forbes and the Industry Standard and has been profiled just about everywhere else. His name and his face--those piercing blue eyes, wide cheeks and stolid expression under the ever present University of Michigan baseball cap--have become synonymous with the promise of the Internet to empower computer users and the possibility that some kiddie-punk programmer will destroy entire industries. Strangers pick...
...save for the occasional Uhura (Star Trek) or Lando Calrissian (Star Wars), sci-fi has tended to look as white as space is black. Dark Angel is an exception. Cameron and his co-creator, Charles Eglee, have created a year 2020 that is intriguing (economic depression, lawlessness and authoritarianism set in after terrorists sabotage America's computers). "We said, 'Let's take our optimistic runaway prosperity and just drop-kick it,'" says Cameron. But just as captivating is the show's mix of black, brown, white and yellow faces. It was a conscious decision, says Eglee, to reflect the diversity...
