...epic as Plant declares, "These are the times of my life/ Bright and strong and golden." He's right, and the album shines brightest when Plant mixes his two musical loves, Western rock and third-world rhythms. Takamba (a word the Tuareg tribe use to describe a camel's gait) splices hypnotic African grooves with crashing drums. He can even inject a dose of politics: Freedom Fries, a cutting attack on the Bush presidency, welds an offbeat guitar lick to the furious pounding of a Moroccan bendir drum. But call it world music at your peril; Mighty Rearranger...
...star of the show. The vocalists were by no accounts extraordinary, but their performances displayed obvious musical talent. Patrick W. Hosfield ’05, in the title character Candide, looked the part. With a suave red sweater and cheeks of the same color, an earnest gaze and gentle gait, Hosfield adeptly assumes the character of Candide.

...hardest things to get a robot to do is walk on two legs, but nowadays bipedal is practically banal. The real trick is to give your humanoid a smooth, natural gait. The J4, above, JVC's 8-in. showpiece at a recent Tokyo trade show, proved it could walk a nice walk and kick a soccer ball to boot. It's controlled via Bluetooth. The Chroino, right--if we didn't know any better, we'd think it was Playmobil's tribute to Marvin the Martian--also boasts a more graceful stride, thanks to new SHIN-Walk technology that allows...
...these days, thanks to the Rheo Knee. The new prosthetic joint, developed in Iceland, is designed to learn the nuances of an individual's movements and adjust itself. An innovative control module--made up of sensors, a computer chip and software--reacts instantaneously to changes in the wearer's gait, so there's less strain on the hips and back...
