...Ashcroft has consistently appealed to the right wing of his party, even when his approach risked appearing racist. He fought unsuccessfully against the confirmation of David Satcher, a distinguished black physician, as surgeon general, because Satcher opposes a ban on late-term abortions. In 1998 Ashcroft told the neo-segregationist magazine Southern Partisan that Confederate war heroes were "patriots." In 1999 he accepted an honorary degree from South Carolina's Bob Jones University, which hadn't yet dropped its ridiculous ban on interracial dating...
...Grammy nominations are in - and they show just how out of it the Grammys really are. There are some welcome nods on the list - the alternative country singer-songwriter Shelby Lynne got a well-earned nomination for best new artist, as did neo-soul cult star Jill Scott, and the British art-rock band Radiohead got a nomination for album of the year for its brilliant "Kid A."

Aside from a photograph of Pusey with John F. Kennedy '40 with some Neo-Georgian buildings in the background, there is not a hint of the old Harvard look that once characterized his home in the Yard...
...imperfections are rife. The 6-GB Nomad Jukebox from Creative Labs takes ages to boot up. The 6-GB Personal Jukebox 100 from Remote Solutions only takes CD rips (which means you can't transfer any Napster files you might have stored on your PC). And the 9-GB Neo 25 from SSI is a pain to navigate, forcing you to scroll through every track on a tiny LCD screen...
