...YORK—As I watched P. Diddy strut on stage, Rage Against the Machine blaring in the background, I couldn’t get past a cynical dose of skepticism. In a heavily air-conditioned auditorium at New York University, the rapper-turned-record-producer-turned-social-activist pontificated behind a podium on his latest public relations offensive, “Citizen Change.” Think MTV’s Rock the Vote, but more bling-bling. Instead of selling albums, the inventor of the remix was now pitching his program to sell voting to our notoriously apathetic...
...around in the dark or the spiders that crawl into their sleeping bags. "It's the most wonderful experience," says Ast, 47, a health-care administrator from Halle/Saale. "The hay is beautifully soft and warm and it crackles when you move." "Hay hotels" like Winkelmann's are the latest rage in a nation in which farm holidays have become much more than a cottage industry. Last year 3.3 million Germans spent time down on the farm, up from 1.9 million in 2002. And the Germans are not alone. From northern Lithuania to southern Tuscany, more and more urban and suburban...
...under oath. His mother Izzy, a manipulative, acidic and passive-aggressive divorce played by Blythe Danner, occupies the apartment above Huff's garage and makes a sport of tormenting his wife.

Occidentalism: A Short History of Anti-Westernism (Atlantic Books; 165 pages) is the latest attempt to solve the puzzle of Islamic rage - and it is possibly the most provocative. Its authors, Ian Buruma, a respected commentator on Asian affairs, and Avishai Margalit, a professor of philosophy at Jerusalem's Hebrew University, assert that the ideas inspiring bin Laden and his fellow terrorists originally sprang from the West. The book is a belated...
...salary increases to 1% annually over the next three years. They also agreed to cut extra pay for working night shifts, recalculate company-paid vacations and give up a public holiday. Jean Le Garrec, a Socialist member of parliament, said the Bosch deal was the result of "employees struggling, rage in their hearts, to save their jobs." Does the Bosch move mean France's 35-hour week is dead? Technically, no. The concession Bosch squeezed out of its workers falls within guidelines hammered out last year by the government of Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin that allow for unions...
