Springsteen still performs his full show (four hours, counting intermission) and has made no concessions to flash. There are video screens to beam images of the Boss and the E Street Band up to seats where the air may get thin, but Springsteen works hard to retain the feeling of one-on-one communion that has characterized his shows since the early days. Intimacy is lost incrementally as venues and audiences get larger, of course, and Boss fanatics of long standing will have to do a little adjusting to their dreams. Playing music on a ball field may never...
...menswear inside out, his models sported jackets of wrinkled linen and cheeks shadowed by whiskers. Says the designer in retrospect: "It evokes something tender, rather than a polished, sharp look." It took almost ten years for the look to travel from Milan to Miami, but while Johnson and Vice flash thrive, stubble will surely survive...
...easy to create your own blog-a good-looking one, with text, photos and links to other sites-in a flash, no technical know-how required. One good, basic service is Blogger.com, which is owned by Google. Blogger will host your site and give you a set of powerful, easy-to-use publishing tools for free.

...fascinated by details like that, by how the meaning of an image can be brought to a head--or, even better, made more ambiguous--by its smallest elements. He also helped redefine the knucklehead weirdness of snapshot photography as a powerful new aesthetic. The foregrounds washed out by flash, the figures cut off by the edge of the picture, the odd foot that pokes into the frame--like Jimi Hendrix, turning the "error" of amplifier feedback into another kind of guitar riff, Friedlander used those "gaffes" to get places where mere perfection could never take him. His pictures, with their...
