...what self-respecting group of teenage boys could resist what Bloom calls a "nonstop, commercially prepackaged, masturbatorial fantasy?" The trouble is, it's not just German teenagers who are infected. My family's hosts were mature adults, the owner of the store in Fischen was an elderly Christian soldier who did not seem prone in the least to indulgence in nonstop masturbatorial fantasies. For whatever reason, though, Germans seem to have left Franz Schubert for Fiona Apple, and it's a shame...
...former electrician and soldier who lost faith in China's communism based on Mao Tse-tung's radical policies. Wang, 31, was a student leader of the 1989 pro-democracy movement in China and participant in the protests at Tiananmen Square. Before they were forced into exile, both men spent many years in jail for criticizing the communist regime...
...featured such gems as, "Have more sex. Join BGLTSA." and "Can I bum a fag?"

Our heroes set out to find it. In the course of their journey they encounter members of the Iraqi resistance who have been...
...wended his way through signature songs like "Darkness, Darkness," "Reunion Hill," "Arrowhead" and "Are You Happy Now?" the crowd warmed. Under the influence of his strong strumming hand and carefully written lyrics, he evoked images ranging from a traffic jam on the Pennsylvania Turnpike to a young Confederate soldier running scared. The audience received new songs like "Wisteria" with less enthusiasm. Perhaps such mini-flops could be attributed to the decidedly unattractive set. There was no chance for stage-rushing, since the Boston P.D. fences kept Shindell far from the calm crowd. Shindell creates passion in more intimate venues, where...
