...Like Limp Bizkit and Korn, other bands that studiously and inexplicably avoid using the letter C, Linkin Park rocks and raps about its own sense of alienation, frustration and loneliness over a furious wall of musical fuzz. But what separates Linkin Park from the rest of the rapidly expanding nu-metal field is that the band's six members--Bennington, Hahn, 24, rapper Mike Shinoda, 24, guitarist Brad Delson, 24, bassist Phoenix (just Phoenix, thanks), 24, and drummer Rob Bourdon, 23--inject nearly everything they do (save their songs) with a sweetly humanistic approach. They may scream "Shut up when...
...collapse of a superpower, no less. These were heady victories, as were the wounds inflicted with impunity on the other superpower: the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, the 1998 destruction of two U.S. embassies in Africa, the 2000 attack on the U.S.S. Cole. The limp and feckless American reaction to these acts of war--a token cruise missile here, a showy indictment there, empty threats everywhere--only reinforced the radical Islamic conviction that America was a paper tiger, fat and decadent, leader of a civilization grown weak and cowardly and ripe for defeat...
...height requirement for Air China stewardesses. Last year, a surgeon in the central city of Chongqing promised to solve her dilemma for $3,000. After four months' hospitalization and nearly a year of rehab, one of Zhang's legs is 3 cm shorter than the other, causing her to limp.

Many patients have ended up with damaged nerves, severe infections, dangerously brittle bones or mismatched legs...
...James was a counterintuitive choice to head STAR. After leaving college, he had shied away from News Corp., founding Rawkus, a record company that specialized in rap-metal bands a few years before Limp Bizkit made millions with the formula. He also had a brief dalliance with cartooning, producing a strip whose antihero "Albrecht the Hun" preferred literary pursuits to raping and pillaging. But James eventually set aside his own artistic impulses and joined the family fold. He first took over News Corp.'s small but troubled music division in 1996. Next, with investors clamoring for greater involvement with...
...congratulate the hapless residents of New Haven for hanging on for so long. It’s hard to remain in Harvard’s shadow for three centuries, but Yalies have always managed to limp along rather gracefully. Just as a Harvard man was president during our tercentennial, a Yale man is in the White House for theirs (though George W., a Yalie through-and-through, really finished in second place...
