MUSIC . . . THE COLOUR AND THE SHAPE: Formed out of the wreckage of post-Kurt Cobain Nirvana, Foo Fighter's eponymous 1995 debut was muddled but promising, notes TIME's Christopher John Farley: "Unfortunately, on their sophomore CD, Foo Fighters never breaks out of the label 'promising,' which starts to sound more like a burden than a compliment the second time around." The songs on the new album dwell mainly on how relationships fall apart, a subject that?s been dealt with in pop songs ever since pop songs began, and Foo Fighters fails to contribute any new insights...
Then, most importantly, after papers are handed in, photocopy and distribute student papers to each student in the section, and label them assigned reading for the week.

They cited statistics showing that nearly 20 percent of all violent crimes in the U.S. are committed by children under 18 years old. A coming baby-boomlet (there are currently 39 million children under 10 in the U.S., more than at any time since the 1950s) suggests that violent crime...
...cachet of the humble house in Soweto that she shared with Mandela in the 1950s. But now that Soweto is a tourist destination, the garage has become a curio shop where you can pick up a small bottle of soil from the garden ("Heroes' Acre," as the label calls it). Each bottle comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Mrs. Mandela, but at about $11 a bottle, it's a slow way to pay her debts...
