...lyrics for inspiration. One of them--in a twist on a famous theory of New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman's--suggests American consumerism will pacify Iraq. "How else we going to make these hungry motherf___ers want to stop killing everybody? Put a McDonald's on every f___ing corner. If we gotta blow up the corner, then put in the McDonald...
...feature ("Hit Restart," [June 16]). Tyrangiel calls the British foursome "annoying," "crib-safe" and rockers who "pound listeners into submission." Give me a break.

I had breakfast with Blair in his hotel room the next morning, anxious to know how the talks on Kosovo had gone.
