...Iggy Pop, and there's no ignoring the influences when drummer Fabrizio Moretti (also known as Drew Barrymore's boyfriend; I told you there were many reasons to hate them) bangs out a snare fill that would make Led Zeppelin's John Bonham sit bolt upright in his grave. But the Strokes don't agonize over their influences, they synthesize them, and songs like 12:51 and Between Love & Hate add up to more than the sum of their stolen parts because the band is so tight. Moretti is a much more confident drummer this time out, while bassist Nikolai...

Is it that, if the allegations are true, the administration jeopardized our national security by exposing a network of agents responsible for disrupting the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)? Or is that the White House is now trying to prevent a full and credible effort...
When profits contribute to science, there is the grave risk that science will contribute to profits, excluding truth in favor of a more attractive approximation. This is not to say that ties to industry doom scientific endeavors to the service of economic interests or that Summers’ plans for Allston will harm biotechnology at Harvard. But the associations to be forged in this great expansion will require concrete structures of academic oversight, which the administration must create alongside the new facilities and research groups. Let’s stay on the synergy side...
