Right you are, Mr. Yang, which is why the U.S.'s uneasy embrace of globalization is chafing against China's emergence as the world's workshop. China rules in stocking stuffers, but it's climbing the technology ladder too. Its huge pool of cheap labor--up to 500 million peasants are expected to migrate to cities in search of factory work over the next two decades--should provide 20 more years of growth for an economy that already produces a quarter of the world's television sets and washing machines and half of its cameras and photocopiers. U.S. towns built...

That exercise in poor syntax was recently covered by the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, another band in the growing crowd of NYC art-punks, whose flamboyant lead singer Karen O dates the flamboyant lead singer of The Liars, Angus Andrew?...
...Heart and Music,” “Gordo’s Law of Genetics,” “Sitting Becalmed in the Lee in Cuttyhunk.” The show’s lyrics, on the other hand, are outstandingly funny and clever; Mr. Bungee and his Mouseketeer-like companions sing a cheerful “Yes Song” about how you should always say “yes I can” or “yes I will” except when asked to “lose your virginity?...
