What's different--and better--is Allen. Her range is a tiny thing, but she dispenses with the guv'nors and blimeys and sings with a pout, as if she were caught in the middle of a mildly disappointing day--though no worse than what she expected when she got up. Her voice rarely rises above the conversational and never sounds labored; nothing she sings feels like a statement, which is why you're surprised when the lyrics add up to something smart.

Peaceful normality reigns until one islander by the name of Symun starts preaching his doubts about the sacred texts. Far to the north, where a new London is rising, church leaders have an instrument...
Person of the Week I'M BACK The Chinese government once said he was a "whore" and a "sinner for a thousand generations." But when former Hong Kong Guv and current E.U.
