...replacement’s recklessness. None of the invective, however, dealt with the man’s actual political position as a pacifist and a pro-Western reformer. In 1997, Khatami won election three-to-one on the strength of young people passionate about the prospect of change (sound familiar?). Yes, theocratic authority overcame its democratic counterpart and stunted Khatami’s suite of reforms, but his very viability speaks volumes about the power of the vote in the putative “Axis of Evil...

If fans are fish and the NBA is a barrel, Everyday is the bullet. The song was originally composed as the sound track for a viral video in which photographer Noah Kalina cut together pictures of himself taken in an identical pose over several years. Removed from images, the 6-min. track (available at iTunes) is a George Winston knockoff?New Age piano music perfect for contemplating autumn's arrival, though...
