...demonic horns, led fans to protest outside Sony's Manhattan headquarters, where he called Mottola a racist. A few days later, at a conference to combat racism in the music industry, Jackson charged that "they" had sabotaged his career after he outsold white artists like Elvis and the Beatles. "Overnight, they called me a freak, a homosexual, a child molester. It's a conspiracy." He also declared, "I know I'm black." His newfound self-awareness failed to generate compassion in the music world, where most people believe his true concern is not black but green--that he is trying...

Simply reaching Ji'an's narrow valley sanctuary along the Yalu...
...governance could become a new Western ally, helping to reduce American dependency on bases in Saudi Arabia, to secure Israel's eastern flank and act as a wedge between Iran and Syria." The idea of a democratic Iraq remaining intact as a single national entity, let alone becoming an overnight ally of the West, is at the very least regarded with some skepticism. And talk of a democratic Arab state "securing Israel's eastern flank" seems more than a little fanciful - those Arab states that have made peace with Israel are anything but democratic, and their citizenry is considerably more...
