...OutKast: "Hey Ya," 2003 In 2003, Atlanta's OutKast decided to resolve their creative differences by releasing a double album - one disc for Big Boi to make lush, solid hip-hop, and another for Andre 3000 to follow his muse into scattershot, genre-mixing pop experiments. Big Boi may have steered clearer of potential embarrassment, but it was Andre's "Hey Ya" that sold both halves. Pop fans, rock fans, rap fans, children, Mennonites, high-school principals, the elderly, terrorists - everybody loved this song. Animals loved it. Silverware loved it.

...hallucination, feel coming home. "In Iraq, it takes American soldiers maybe a few days to go back home, giving them a little time to adjust," says Folman.

"People who don't follow China on a regular basis can miss some of the underlying drivers," says Kroeber, who runs the consulting firm Dragonomics. First, Kroeber says, there's a large demographic dividend provided by the fact that the average worker now has roughly half the number of dependents to care for they...
...students no longer have to choose—as we seniors, the last of an older generation, had to—their concentration in their freshman year, ostensibly to permit, through more freedom to sample various disciplines, thus a more meaningful choice of study. Departments did not delay to follow suit—the History Department, for example, made the previously required introductory survey optional three years...
