...least bit surprised that members of the younger generation spend their time e-mailing, instant messaging and listening to iTunes while watching television, downloading files and trying to work at the same time. What shocks and alarms me is that I do too! I owe whatever success I've had in this life to my ability to focus and concentrate. But at age 53, I find that ability has all but disappeared...
...Yeah Yeah Yeahs have spent the past two years arguing over not just how to reach more people but also who their collective self really is. Chase, 28, and O, 27, became friends while enrolled at Oberlin College. O and Zinner, 33, met in New York City, forged an instant bond and became platonic roommates. All three have cared for one another just long enough to be pained by the fact that they no longer agree on everything.

'I'm going to the gym!'" she says. "Then they totally overdo it. They are exhausted and sore, and that...
...matter of vigorous dispute in my country. But such a painful issue cannot be resolved within a single generation. Look at Germany: it took many years of peace, prosperity and democracy after World War II before German society was ready to face its ghosts. Demanding an instant catharsis from a small, impoverished Serbia so soon after the war is, indeed, unfair. Milosevic's death briefly amplified these feelings...
