...manufacture the bomb and put it into position. A terrorist would first have to get hold of some sort of fissionable material--ideally, says Princeton University nuclear proliferation expert Frank von Hippel, enriched uranium. North Korea, Iraq and Libya are believed to have uranium stockpiles but would probably be loath to let them go. A more likely source is the former Soviet Union, where bombmaking supplies are plentiful, the economy is in upheaval, and security has collapsed...
Rasoanaivo seems loath to make any further concessions to foreign ways, at least when it comes to her band. The purist aesthetic of Tarika's music--"It's 90% Madagascar," she says--testifies to her deep suspicion of globalization. "No one knows the good and bad any longer/The target becomes only to participate/No one fights for the differences," she sings on Disease, a track from Tarika's most recent CD, Soul Makassar (Triloka).

...precise, and Meg's rhythms have drive and swing. Predictably, they wish their music would get all the attention, and don't speak on the record about the sibling issue. One can only speculate about what purpose the fib serves for them, but it seems likely they're loath to gab about their divorce and they hope to exercise some control over the hype descending upon them. At any rate, it's clear they have their reservations about being exposed to media scrutiny. The cover of White Blood Cells depicts a horde of black-clad attackers surrounding the two band...
