...kind of music out of business. He was an inventor and an inspiration. He pioneered recording on tape, creating dozens of layers of sound with an early reel-to-reel tape machine. He designed (though he did not construct) one of the first synthesizers.

And he invented the Gibson Les Paul, an instrument used in various models by Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and loads of other Guitar-zans. (See TIME's top 100 albums...

Treatment of an exacerbated case of lymphedema requires specialized attention from physical therapists - including massage and compression bandaging - expenses that many but not all insurance companies cover. For a patient with early-stage lymphedema, an eight-day course of therapy sessions can cost an average of $2,000, not including supplies and time spent by patients in daily sessions, according to the National Lymphedema Network.

In the shade, five soldiers - Special Forces and border guards - sit bored, smoking cigarettes near a burned-out campfire. A sixth lulls in the vehicle, blasting techno dance music. "We are prepared for the Georgians if they come. We don't think they'll start anything, but if they do, we're ready for them," says a border guard, standing in grimy fatigues with a worn Kalashnikov over his shoulder...
