...feature,” he says. The main obstacle to reassembling WHRB’s hip-hop department was dismantling its original replacement: the moribund “Black Urban Contemporary” department. Felton explains, “When I began working at WHRB there was a shadow of a hip-hop department called ‘Black Urban Contemporary.’ But there was no new music coming into the department, and it wasn’t very organized—it was just a few kids who enjoyed hip-hop.” To that...
...diplomatic and economic pressure doesn't work, though, the game will reach a point at which Israelis are prepared to act-with or without their allies. "We dare not let our children live under the shadow of a nuclear Iran," argues Lerman. "At that point all options will be on the table."

A win for either of them would be fine by me, but the race seems to be between Hoffman and Ledger. Hoffman's Capote is a stunt, a caricature, the kind Oscar often rewards, but it's also a great performance. Ledger, his character's emotions so internalized he's nearly made mute by his passion and guilt, would dominate any other year. But in the leading actor categories, I have...
