...would Averell be? Probably Puck, the in-your-face prankster from MTV's Real World, he says...
...film broke down barriers in the '60s. Hardened film critics went in expecting pop schlock of the beach-movie variety and came out exuding raves for both the film and the Beatles. Thirty years later the cinematic grammar invented by Lester is still a staple of pop videos. MTV once sent Lester a citation proclaiming him the "father of music video."

"Even one-year-olds started shaking their hips like those MTV girls," says farmer Shantappa Ghewari. More than a year later, another magical box was installed in the village, and Pokhale became one of 70 villages in the region to take part in the "Wired Village Warana," a $600,000 information-technology project initiated by the federal government. All the villages in the area have computer kiosks that are linked...
