Rock Band is just part of the Sept. 9 Fab Four onslaught. Apple Corps/Capitol is issuing a box set of all 13 original Beatles LPs, from Please Please Me to Let It Be, plus the Yellow Submarine movie score and the two-disc singles set Past Masters. They all sound great in versions remastered for the first time since the 1987 editions (which are still fine).

...would sound crazy if I claimed that there is therefore a giant media conspiracy to channel undue public attention onto the president’s otherwise normal wife. But I would sound even crazier if I said that I have seen all these pictures without having been forced to do so against my will. Call me crazy, but it seems clear that many major media organizations are doing their part to cast Michelle Obama in a certain mold, one into which she shouldn’t necessarily have to fit—the fashion maven and the cultural arbiter...
