...help is at hand in the form of Colours Are Brighter, a compilation of 13 original songs[an error occurred while processing this directive] by alternative rock acts put together by Belle and Sebastian's Mick Cooke. Issued on Rough Trade, the label that evolved from the legendary punk-era London record shop, it's specifically for kids ("and grownups too" acknowledges the small print).

What are the consequences for the U.S. and the rest of the world? Are we in an era of barely controlled proliferation, in which countless nations must at least consider the possibility of going nuclear? Or are those fears, in the wake of the North Korean test, overblown? Is there still time to manage the situation...
