...like. Flexible enough that you don't need to worry about dropping it, firm enough to hold in one hand and roughly the area of a sheet of paper, the reader could be built to hold, say, a gigabyte of data. That's space enough for 1,000 standard-length books - or the text of the complete Encyclopaedia Britannica three times over, with room to spare for the Harry Potter series...
...Magnetic Wonder” is The Apples In Stereo’s first full-length album in five years. The band produced five records between 1996 and 2002 and fans have long wondered what was holding up the latest release by Denver’s answer to the Beach Boys. Internal drama? Too many side projects?

Did they all think that huge sleeves look good...
...decided to venture out to see all this for myself. Red Guards were stopping buses and punishing passengers whose clothes they disapproved of. (In my old shirt and wide trousers, I blended in.) I saw a group of Red Guards leading an old man on a length of rope, shouting and hitting him with a stick. Suddenly he collapsed. When he did not get up, the Red Guards jumped on him. The old man shrieked in pain. ''Dirty capitalist! Exploiter of workers! You deserve to die!'' they shouted. I heard of other victims being humiliated, terrorized and often killed when...
