...first met Karen O (the O is for Orzolek) two years ago, when Joy, nee Hultquist, was installed at the now defunct Daryl K store. "Wild, crazy Karen used to come in all the time," says Joy, 29, a willowy brunet wearing heels that have been spray-painted green. Joy, who is now a part-time sales associate at another New York store, Martin, had been making T shirts in her spare time, but the outfit that clinched the Yeah Yeah Yeahs deal was the "car-crash dress...
...What do we know about them? We know that John Allen Muhammad, nee Williams, is a Gulf War veteran, formerly stationed at Fort Lewis in Washington State. According to the Associated Press, after serving in the Louisiana National Guard from 1978 to 1985, Muhammad served in the U.S. Army between November 1985 and April 1996, joining the Oregon National Guard in 1995.

In the decades before the communists swept to power in 1949, a Chinese missionary known as Watchman Nee built his congregation, the Little Flock, to 300,000 followers in central China. The sect's emphasis on decentralized congregations launched a home-church movement that helped Christianity survive communist repression. Yet as Little Flock congregations became isolated, they splintered into separate groups. The Shouters, for instance, rewrote the Lord's Prayer to read simply, "Oh, Lord Jesus," and taught followers...
...Finally, a delicious irony from India's Telegraph, a paper whose banner giddily proclaims it "unputdownable." The Calcutta paper reports that some 200 Mumbai (nee Bombay) restaurants had stopped serving Coke and Pepsi, offering only traditional Indian yoghurt drinks as a means of protesting U.S. air strikes against Afghanistan. Many more of the city's Muslim restaurateurs are expected to join the boycott of U.S. products.

The boycott makes...
