...huddling against the windchill. The greatest risk to the protesters wasn't aggressive cops - the D.C. police, just as chilled as the activists, had little interest in confrontation - but frostbite from the hours of marching and standing in the cold.

(There were no reports of injuries, winter-related or other, although after six hours in the elements, this reporter is still waiting to feel his face again.)

...stocks, and at least it looks good on your wall.) Armory Show is the main event, featuring 243 galleries at Piers 92 and 94. If that seems too overwhelming, there are smaller venues, like Volta, an invitation-only showcase for galleries like Swiss dealer Haas & Fischer, with sculpture including Joshua Callaghan's "The 100 Year Anniversary Commemorative Model-T Ford," and London's Rokeby Gallery, with video artist Erica Eyres' short film about a female-only future.

In the towering period that spanned The Joshua Tree to Zooropa, U2 made stadium-size art rock with huge melodies that allowed Bono to throw his arms around the world while bending its ear about social justice. After 1997's Pop - a disastrous mix of disco and hubris that provided a harrowing glimpse of career death - the band...
...best albums (The Joshua Tree; Achtung Baby), the answer is both. But convergence rarely happens here. Some songs - like "Stand Up Comedy," a goofball attempt at funk - are explicitly told through Bono's rose-colored specs. ("Stand up to rock stars, Napoleon is in high heels/ Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas.") But on the otherwise breezy power pop of "I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight," the rock star can't resist intruding with a lyric that first appeared as a pull quote in several of his magazine profiles ("The right...
