...Speakerboxxx and The Love Below, Big Boi and Andre come together only briefly. (Andre co-wrote four tracks on Big Boi's album; Big Boi co-wrote and guest-raps once on Andre's.) Their synergy, on Speakerboxxx's Ghetto Musick and The Love Below's Roses, still produces OutKast's usual joyous, comic, hip-hop funk, with Andre's cross-genre futurism balanced by Big Boi's pop discipline.

The most orderly neighborhoods in Baghdad may well be in the Shiite ghetto known now as Sadr City, where local imams, acting on orders from the clerical hierarchy in Najaf and for the most part ignoring coalition troops and administrators, have organized local militia to stop looting, provide security and restore basic services.
