Meet the Press's Tim Russert, who died just before the general election got under way, ruled nights like this, breaking down the Electoral College John Henry--style, not with a giant touchscreen, but with a dry-erase marker and a whiteboard. At the end of the Democratic primary season, Russert did what nobody had the force to do on election night: call the game over when it plainly...

A solo album of danceable techno, Post Haze, is due out this month on China's Modern Sky label. "The whole independent music scene is growing slowly in China," he says. Some of its hottest acts, incidentally, can be seen at Antidote, a club night co-founded by B6 and dedicated to new electronica.
