With its simple, log-sided buildings spread out over 150 acres among the Ponderosa pines in a remote part of western Montana, Spring Creek Lodge Academy might pass as a rustic retreat for budget-minded travelers. But Mary and Randy Carben didn't make the trip there from their home in Bridgeview, Ill., for a vacation. They were at Spring Creek because it's where their son John had lived since the morning in June when the Carbens paid two handcuff-brandishing escorts to take their 17-year-old there. Despite its bucolic appearance, Spring Creek is a specialty boarding...
...that every one of them would be casting a vote for Bush. The voters in Indiana and Ohio wouldn’t realize that we would get hit the hardest, that much of the job loss is from our factories, the outsourcing from our states. All the Battle Creek city positions would go Republican, and my cousin, who served a dedicated term as vice-chair of the county commission would squeak out a 104-vote victory. Never mind that his opponent was a late replacement with little time to campaign while he went to every door in his district...
Thile, the one-time teenage wunderkind mandolinist and current driving force behind progressive pop-newgrass group Nickel Creek, is almost certainly the most virtuosic mandolinist in the entire modern American roots scene, earning comparisons to David Grisman and other similarly luminary pickers.

However, Thile’s greatest strength—his mandolin chops—are far less...
...they like him back home: because they hate America. Call them anti-American or unpatriotic, respectively, but their underlying betrayal is the same: they want to seize our country and change it into something else. When European youth wear Levi’s jeans, watch Dawson’s Creek and read about the presidential debates in Der Spiegel, if not The New York Times, their enthusiasm for America may seem benign, but they are indeed preparing to participate in our country’s future and emasculate it of its eminent position as a hegemon...
Life lurches from sweet and fresh to embarrassing and awful (much like adolescence). The story lines are bad teen-soap retreads--Ben has a fling with a teacher, and Dino catches his mother having an affair, both plots straight from Dawson's Creek Season 1. But its characters are much more believable--Dino, Ben and Jonathan aren't miniature adults, they're kids. When Dino finds his mom cheating, he's not just angry; he's scared, above all for his dad (D.B. Sweeney), a good-hearted sad sack who hates his pencil-pushing job. Fox's The O.C. transcended...
