...these documents as a man whose unsettled private life contrasts sharply with his serene contemplation of the universe. He could be alternately warmhearted and cold; a doting father, yet aloof; an understanding, if difficult, mate, but also an egregious flirt. "Deeply and passionately [concerned] with the fate of every stranger," wrote his friend and biographer Philipp Frank, he "immediately withdrew into his shell" when relations became intimate...

...emblematic of the music as the band' s physical appearance may be, the thrill of actually seeing band members in person is transitory at best. Stereolab is no stranger to personnel changes. What hasn't changed is the thrill of hearing where Stereolab is going next, whether it's a casting out for funkier shores or spending a night in with Burt Bacharach and martinis. The next stop on their magical mystery tour? Soul. Not James-Brown-soul, although the drawn-out, reverb ad infinitum song endings the band took to performing at the Roxy do recall the virtuoso rock...

...victim. This promptly inspires a game of Spin the Bottle, where the bottle is an empty 40 of Bud, and the background music is the Led Zeppelin boxed set. After a number of spins, Tad is called into the game. He eagerly steps up, hands his camera to a stranger and wins an extensive kiss from Evie Stone. I fail to realize the next turn is mine. Claiming journalistic immunity and sinking deeper into the couch, I try to work my way out of it, but my friend Emily Lin starts the room chanting "Lisa, Lisa, Lisa...

Even more unsettling was the twist the case took last week, when prosecutors charged two white teenagers with the murder and said they had targeted Richardson, a stranger to them, because he was black. The Elkhart Truth reported that one suspect, Jason Powell, 19, had told friends he needed to kill a black person to earn a badge of honor in the Aryan Brotherhood, a white-supremacist gang he hoped to join. An Elkhart city councilman, Arvis Dawson, told TIME he had confirmed that report in conversations with police and prosecutors. Neither Powell nor his co-defendant, Alex Witmer...
