...Soul. Yet on his new album, “Universal Mind Control,” the aging rapper replaces those influences with newer artists like Kanye West and Chester French. Common’s entrance into a new crowd implies a baldly careerist effort to modernize his sound. The result is a resolutely generic club rap album entirely devoid of the musical experimentation and rhythmic virtuosity that defined Common’s early collaborators. Early in his career, Common gained a reputation for focusing on social and political issues instead of gangsterism and consumerist machismo. From the first verse...
...decent 3-2 start so far this season. In its last game however, it fared much like its namesake did against the British on Long Island in 1776, as George Washington was routed by Maryland, falling 76-53. Rather than giving the Crimson hope with that result, the blowout has Harvard coach Tommy Amaker concerned about Colonial backlash against his team tomorrow. “They’re coming off their worst performance and we’re their next game, so we’re going to get their completely best shot,” he said. Getting...
...Blagojevich is prosecuted, he’ll be the fourth Illinois governor to face corruption charges, and maybe even the fourth to serve a prison sentence as a result. This proud legacy can be traced back at least to that great patriarch of corruption, Gov.

Such a grand inheritance of corruption can scarcely be rivaled in any other state, from sea to shining sea, and it’s important not to overlook the good...
...billion education program and explicitly targeted the new moon program as one he'd cut to pay for it. In January of 2008, he lined up much closer to the Bush moon plan - perhaps because Republicans were already on board and earning swing-state support as a result. Three months before the election, Obama fully endorsed the 2020 target for putting people on the moon. But that was a candidate talking and now he's president-elect, and his choice of Garver as his transition adviser may say more than his past campaign rhetoric...
...latest trade data show that sustaining China's economic boom over the next year will prove arduous if not impossible. Last month China's exports, a major driver of the world's fourth-largest economy, fell by 2.2% compared with November, 2006. The result marked the country's first decline in exports in seven years and was a sharp reversal of the double-digit growth rates manufacturers have typically posted in recent years. The drop was "a shock figure," says Ben Simpfendorfer, the Hong Kong-based chief China economist for the Royal Bank of Scotland. "I had expected exports...
