Well, what is a hero? When finally released with other POWS in 1973, McCain was welcomed home, all right (he leaned forward on his crutches and thanked Richard Nixon for everything including the Christmas bombing that had rained all around the "Hanoi Hilton" while he was a guest there), but McCain's was not a feel-good denouement. A rotten script. One of the lessons of Vietnam was that political context counts--that it may, in fact, be everything.

...prosecution is concluding this case. We might just see a verdict months before Court TV's sweeps week! What then are we as a nation, and the press (as a multi-million dollar entertainment industry) to do, without the Bloody Glove, the White Ford Bronco and Kato the House Guest?

...most consistently rewarding works of his long, winding career. It features an extraordinary backup group, Pearl Jam, the youthful, populist, alternative-rock megaband. Even though Young is two decades older than any of the group's members, the pairing isn't some demographic gimmick--Sean Connery guest-starring on Friends. It is a natural coming together of rockers with a shared commitment and passion. "Actually, in many ways, I feel like Pearl Jam is older than me," says Young. "There's an ageless thing to the way they play." Their recording session in Seattle last winter...
