...great voice to good use, look to PJ Harvey's A Woman a Man Walked By. In 1992, Harvey debuted much as Maria did, as a young woman from a small town in rural England preceded by reports of otherworldly pipes. Now 39, Harvey's got a catalog of near genius records, largely because she developed a musical and emotional repertoire to go along with her talent. She can throw every punch there...
...progress through the Senate. Mark Udall is now in Tester's old space, waiting. "It's just survival," says Udall's communications director, Tara Trujillo. "We've seen mice. The cockroaches do not survive here." Tester laughs the deep laugh of a guy who no longer has to work near dead cockroaches...
Boat capsized. Twenty-five passengers, fully clothed, flailing in the surf. Hypothermia setting in." Ed Vodrazka, 50, has a feeling he'll be hearing that call come in over the radio any day now.

"They're the bird dogs," Hill says...
...want to feel encouraged about our economic near future - not this damned decade but the one to come - ignore the stock traders and go talk to some venture capitalists. They aren't quite giddy (after the '80s and '90s and '00s, beware all giddiness), but they are optimistic about an imminent tide of innovations in technology, energy and transportation. Recall, please, the national mood in the mid-'70s: after the 1960s party, we found ourselves in a slough of despondency, with an oil crisis, a terrible recession, a kind of Weimarish embrace of decadence, national malaise - and at that very...
