...After school, it's dark in the narrow corridor under the overpass--nevermind that the sun turns the school's front doors into glowing tangerine beacons. Christy and Tamika lean on a wall in the shade, smoking Newports. Christy's shirt says "Play Soccer," but she's skipping practice today. Their friend Erica stops by on her way to catch a bus to work and bums a cigarette off Christy. Under a nearby tree, eight guys stand in a circle, freestyling...
...publicly withdrawn his opposition, Massachusetts' largest pro-life organization, Citizens for Life, is protesting Marshall's nomination on the grounds that she once sat on the board of Crittenton Hastings House, a home for unwed mothers that provides abortions. Marshall's position on abortion shouldn't be an issue (nevermind that abortion is still legal in this country); her ability to judge cases fairly should be. And by all accounts, her judicial record is unblemished, even stellar. Its an instance of a false mountain made out of an imaginary molehill. She should be confirmed...
...with what.

One doesn't have to support censoring any of these artists to see that hurt, isolated kids may not understand any intended symbolism...
...sophomore album, Version 2.0 (Almo Sounds) doesn't live up--or down--to the band's name. The quartet, based in Madison, Wis., and consisting of singer Shirley Manson (originally from Edinburgh, Scotland), guitarists Steve Marker and Duke Erikson, and drummer Butch Vig (who produced Nirvana's album Nevermind), had never played outside the studio before recording their debut album, Garbage, in 1995. Their inexperience showed: while the album had its moments, it often felt indecisive and inorganic. In the past three years, Garbage has had a chance to tour, and now it sounds more like a band instead...
