...college towns, those intrinsically hip places where collective shoe preference may run the narrow gamut from Birkenstocks to Doc Martens but ears are all wide open. The academic triangle of Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, boasts popular alternative bands like Superchunk, not to mention a label, Mammoth Records. Jay Faires, founder of Mammoth, set up shop in the area quite simply because ''there are a lot of 18- to 22-year-olds who don't have much to do, who smoke a lot of pot and who eventually pick up a guitar.''

Their legacy of craven politicking and brazen plundering buoyed the current army-backed regime into power. But few believe Moeen is truly democracy's savior when the military has so consistently impeded its growth in the past. "As Bangladeshis...
...general election gets under way (which is why he threw a few verbal bouquets to Hillary in his speech). As McCain aides like to point out, their candidate has managed to stay nearly even with Obama in national polls - and very competitive in key states - despite the mammoth, three-headed albatross of Bush, the economy and the war that hangs heavily around his neck...
