...recorded four solo albums and co-starred with Diana Ross - who was named in his will as backup guardian of his children - in the movie of the Broadway hit The Wiz, before teaming with renowned producer Quincy Jones for the 1979 Off the Wall. A mixture of disco, funk and plaintive ballads, the album defined MJ's style and sped him toward superstardom. The first single, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," went to No. 1 and came with a fresh promotional tool: a music video, in which three Michaels appear onscreen to perform some intricate steps...
...picture of U.S. envoy Dennis Ross as presented in "The Final Countdown" is frightening [June 15]. Ross should not have been placed in charge of dealings with Iran.

Even the most powerful pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which opposes public U.S. pressure on Israel, hasn't taken an explicit stance on the settlements dispute. Obama has also surrounded himself with the kind of advisers (Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton and Dennis Ross) and made the kind of symbolic gestures (holding a seder at the White House and condemning Holocaust denial in Cairo) that reassure many American Jews. Historically, Israel's American supporters have used their strength in Congress to box Presidents in a corner. But when Netanyahu came to Washington last month...
