...society of futuristic ape-like creatures sit brooding in a dark, rusty tower circled by helicopters and visited by a floating island powered by a Dutch windmill. Sound familiar? God, I hope not. This is the basic plot of “Feel Good Inc.,” the long-awaited new release from the world’s preeminent animated brainy hip-hop all-star extravaganza Gorillaz (and De La Soul guest on this track!), and it’s hot. It’s not pushing any boundaries, (and, hey, what is these days?) but the video...
...target of frequent criticism that it's incomplete and unreliable. But that hasn't stopped it from expanding dramatically.

The government had raised a furor a week earlier when it seized the passports of eight Afrikaner students who had scheduled a trip to Lusaka, and it was widely expected that some similar action would be taken against the seven...
...synod will meet in an ultramodern Vatican conference room. John Paul, who plans to attend most of the plenary sessions, has appointed a balanced slate of three presiding cardinals: Johannes Willebrands, 76, a Dutch ecumenist who is president of the Vatican's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity; John Krol of Philadelphia, 75, a conservative on ecclesiastical matters; and Joseph Malula of Zare, 67, a symbol of the Third World, which accounts for three-fifths of both the synod delegates and the globe's 825 million Catholics...
