...will be sent back to Mexico, roughly 15 miles away. Fiddling with the red jumpsuit that identifies him as a high-risk detainee, he explains that he was off his medication when he assaulted his father, adding, "I hear voices, and it's hard." De Santiago is a paranoid schizophrenic...

On its critically acclaimed third album, OK Computer (1997), Radiohead began to write its own rules, creating rock mini-suites like Paranoid Android and writing lyrics that captured the numbing ambivalence that many people feel about living in a microprocessed age.

Why tell the web guys months ahead of time, for God's sake...

...American Dreams, which sells "fine fragrances from the U.S.A." It is these vendors, say cynics, who have put the spotlight on Indian beauty. With millions of Indians tuning in for live broadcasts of competitions featuring their countrywomen, the pageant scene is an advertiser's dream. "I am not getting paranoid about an international conspiracy, but it obviously helps the cosmetics giants to have India associated with beauty," says novelist Shobha De, who often judges pageants. "Indian women are among the most beautiful in the world, but there is something odd about the world's discovering this all of a sudden...
