Reinventing R.E.M. I enjoyed Josh Tyrangiel's recent article about R.E.M., and I generally agreed with his assessment of the band's last three albums before Accelerate [April 7]. However, I completely disagree with the chart that deems Monster below respectable. Following Automatic for the People, R.E.M. ran the risk of falling into a rut.

"I was trying to sell him on the idea that America's gift to the world should be to offer every child the chance of education," says Brown, adding that there are 72 million primary school-age children in the world not enrolled for class. "That...
...Wisconsin Clinton has won the white working-class vote, moderate swing voters sometimes called Reagan Democrats; her advantage in that demographic helped Clinton win Ohio by 10.5 percentage points. "Obama used the word 'bitter' when he should have said 'frustrated,'" said Donna Brazile, an undecided Super Delegate who ran Al Gore's presidential campaign in 2000. "Clearly Obama's comments were 'unartful,' but not inaccurate. Polls show most voters are dissatisfied with the current direction of the country.
