...want to truly appreciate “All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone,” the new album from Explosions in the Sky, you should probably hasten to your nearest neighborhood drug dealer and ask him for as much marijuana as you can afford. That is not to say that the new release from the Texas-based instrumental band—perhaps best known for their controversial Sept. 11 related album cover and their creation of soundtracks for the film and TV series “Friday Night Lights”—is not good...
...Nip/Tuck both glamorizes and moralizes about plastic surgery. Last year Hillary Clinton dealt with a smear that she had had work done, just as in 2004 John Kerry was attacked with Botox rumors. (As cosmetic work becomes more common, one wonders whether it will be the new marijuana: "I tried it once, I didn't like it, I'll never do it again.") Just look at the word: Plastic. Malleable.

Every night you were shooting at V.C. soldiers, kids your...
...personal, rather than political, reasons. Many are high-school dropouts with no job prospects, impressionable youths whom the N.P.A. recruits and molds into loyal killers for the communist cause. For Joven, 21, joining meant personal salvation. "I had a different lifestyle before," he says. "I was addicted to marijuana and alcohol. I hung out with a neighborhood gang." Joven was shot during an offensive four months ago and the bullet rests painfully under his spine. But he says, "I'm happy with the comrades. Even though we come from different neighborhoods, from different classes, we fight...
