...think modern recording techniques have a bad effect on musicians? -M.S. Freedman, Los AngelesNo, I think it is a good thing. Nowadays you can record on your laptop with Pro Tools, which I do quite often. Within one hour I can go in, play my guitar and walk away knowing they can mix it any way they wish. I can't work [the technology] myself. It is quite frustrating. But if I can sit and play and it gets done in five minutes, then it is great...
...seat of a new Islamic caliphate and capital of the Iraqi insurgency. Rather than rise up against them, the people of Ramadi Tuesday invited U.S. forces to watch a massive parade - albeit one so tightly secured that no pedestrian traffic got close to it. The almost surreal, two-hour martial procession was led by the city's children to commemorate the martyred leader of a tribal revolt that has virtually silenced al-Qaeda in Anbar Province. It gave the Baghdad government a photo-op to make points about national unity, and so the Shi'a dominated government sent a representative...

Hundreds of Iraqi police officers and soldiers...
TIME was present at the six-hour meeting as the militants tried to cut a deal. Let them see the top three prisoners and they would shut off all attacks against U.S. forces in Haswsah, they said. The American negotiators were skeptical but nevertheless got approval for the JAM delegation to see the detainees from a distance of about 10 meters in the prison yard. It was a vast departure from the old "we don't deal with terrorists" line of the Bush Administration and early commanders of the U.S. occupation, but quite in keeping with the spirit...
...pact of such epic importance, Singh can ill afford to lose the support of the communists, because their departure from his coalition would have forced snap elections 18 months early. If he had been counting on convincing the Left to drop its opposition to the deal at the eleventh hour, he has badly miscalculated. Communist demands that the government refrain from negotiating nuclear safeguards with the IAEA - the next phase of implementing the deal - have prevailed, and it is the government that appears to have been forced to back down at the eleventh hour...
