...weeks ago in a ceremony off limits to the press--and just as Hyde was facing the defining test of his 40 years in politics. More than 200 people--friends, family and constituents--applauded the presentation of the image: the hulking House Judiciary Committee chairman standing between his "Turkish" leather chair and a bust of Lincoln. The likeness hangs in the committee hearing room next to a portrait of Watergate legend Peter Rodino, the New Jersey Democrat who quieted doubters with his steady leadership during the Nixon impeachment proceedings. Now Hyde must pull off much the same feat. When...
Rowlands and Simons weren't always the Chemical Brothers. When they hit the Manchester club scene in the early '90s, the two DJs were the Dust Brothers, attracting a cult following at the clubs Naked Under Leather and Most Excellent. Their mixing philosophy and music choice at the time are best described by Rowlands himself, "Big Bass, Big Drums, Siren, Mad." Brother's Gonna Work It Out includes several songs frequently mixed by the Dust Brothers during their early shows. Samples from DBX, Serotonin Project and Dubtribe Sound System all provide glimpses into the past of the Chemical Brothers...

First Russians, then Americans killed them for their fur, and they became almost extinct by the early 1900s. Declared endangered, they now number more than 2,000 along California's central coast. Earle tells me she once saw an otter opening clams with a Coke bottle...
...Love is still a believer in attitude. "Just once in your life you need to have thrown a TV out a window," she says. "Or wear leather pants or get called a faggot or get called a freak or get called deranged or have insane rumors floated about you. Every single decent rock star I've ever met has had this." A word of advice: don't stand beneath her window...
