...full employment. However decrepit the economy might be, everyone would always have a job, no matter how economically redundant. You pretend to work and we pretend to pay you. And yet on Friday, even as portraits of Mao were driven through the streets of Beijing, 100 million Chinese face the prospect of joblessness with no social safety...
...band left the stage during the initial misstart, most of the music kept playing, revealing that much of the sound, including a sizable percentage of the rhythm section, was pre-recorded.

As such, they face the sticking point that's kept most electronic acts from success in the States: how to put on a convincing live show.

"I very much doubt that this bill will pass," he says, "and even if it did, it would probably be struck down by the Supreme Court, since it flies in the face of the court?s existing stand on reproductive rights." If defeat is almost guaranteed, what?s in this campaign for the Christian Coalition? A presence on the political map, says Dickerson. "There?s a nagging fear in the coalition that they are being marginalized. This group hasn?t backed...
