...rock if they didn’t make good songs, and Her Majesty is full of those. The poisonous smirk of “Los Angeles, I’m Yours,” the rustic daze of “As I Rise” and the surprisingly straightforward “Billy Liar” all prove that the Decemberists have considerable range. Meloy and his bandmates might have been born a few centuries too late, but we’re lucky to have these faux-Luddites chewing the scenery today...
...dollar, wagers Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple--or 99, to be exact. When Apple introduced its pay-per-song service last spring, many doubted the computer maker could succeed where so many had failed. But the straightforward concept and uncomplicated design of iTunes immediately hit a chord with consumers, who downloaded 1 million songs in its debut week. The service's popularity underscored Jobs' argument: free file sharing can be a pain in the neck.

But the sometimes clandestine status can breed bad habits. Visa bans turn many Evangelicals, usually straightforward to a fault, into truth stretchers, if only at the customs desk. They use encrypted e-mail and code words or smuggle Bibles. "Some," says a Christian minister in Morocco, "seem to have been inspired by the book of James, verse 007." It is not really their fault, says the leader of one mission, contending...
