Since the release of Reinhold, BFF had remained largely below radar level before finally breaking up last year. With the release of Folds’s new album, I was nervous. Folds did not use long-time producer Caleb Southern, instead opting for Fuel and Filter producer Ben Grosse. He had dropped two of the finest instumentalists around and was playing almost everything on his own. And the title track to the album, “Rockin’ The Suburbs”, which hit the airwaves early this summer, was a loud, guitar-driven song without a piano note...

Americans may be willing to let their e-mails pass one time through a sort of national filter that would screen for hints of terrorist activity.

Whether China will actually allow direct-to-viewer foreign television transmissions is another matter. The technological bottleneck?and potential filter?created by a centralized uplink facility could soothe the anxieties of China's political mandarins. Such a policy change would surely be good for business. Goldman Sachs expects TV advertising revenues in China to grow from $2 billion today to $7 billion in 2010. And someday, additional revenues may come from...
