...asked questions." So why does all the world want a piece of this skinny kid from Brixton by way of Birmingham? His homegrown sound expands beyond garage, but most riveting are his lyrics; he's a switchblade-sharp social commentator for British kids numbed by strong lager, joints and junk food. Skinner is unfazed by the attention; as he sees off an El País reporter and moves tables for a change of scene in his local south London pub, he explains that this album has been in the bag for ages. "It's like doing your homework...
...Lieut. General James T. Conway, the Marines' top commander in Iraq, has not been impressed by the weapons turned in so farthe first truckload last week was a rusty junk bin of antique arms--and warned that an all-out assault would follow if the rebels did not comply.

His highest goal is to restore possibilities for human interaction of whatever kind. Congestion and sprawl he sees as advantages. The posthuman megalopolises of the 21st century--Tokyo, Atlanta, Shanghai--are just...
...getting us to focus on eating nutrient-rich foods instead of yelling about which types of junk will kill us, Agatston has ironically got people to stop being on diets and just start eating healthy. Now he is planning to write a book about heart-disease prevention--the book he really wanted to write in the first place. "The idea was not to fit into a bathing suit in a few weeks but to prevent heart disease," he says. "But people don't care when they die as long as they look good when they do." Finally a doctor...
