...have no other way to explain how little I care about the outcome of last week’s Grammy awards. Nonetheless, I shall bash. This year’s Grammys simply hardened my opinion that the mainstream critical and commercial machinations are perfectly content with a steady stream of tributes to elder generations and a short list of inoffensive “approved” artists that sound like they’re from an elder generation. Ray Charles! The Pepsi guy, before he died this past summer, dropped Genius Loves Company, a compilation of duets with a broad...
...enjoying a better quality of life. We have to think about how to make Shanghai a green, livable place." Yue notes that his plan integrates commercial and housing areas to avoid creating residential ghettos?a common criticism of satellite towns?and that high-tech parks nearby will send a stream of scientists and engineers to live in Pujiang, thereby spawning a self-sustaining environment independent of Shanghai. The development also offers multi-income housing, in which the cheapest apartment will cost only $84,000?not bad, though hardly affordable for most people in a city where the average annual income...
...Ironically, ending the U.S. presence is a point of consensus between Iraq's new political class and the insurgents who kept their promise to bloody the poll with a steady stream of attacks in the months preceding it, and which killed at least 41 people on election day despite the elaborate security procedures in place.

Every day, a stream of haggard customers would show up at Mark Dodson's drugstore in Altus, Okla. (pop. 23,000), just north of the Texas border. And every day Dodson would find dozens of empty cold-medicine boxes--the pills shoplifted--stuffed behind other products on the shelves or abandoned in grocery carts. Sometimes the 38-year-old pharmacist suspected that a buyer was using sniffle pills to manufacture methamphetamine, a dangerous drug, and he refused a sale.
