Mama's Gun's final track, a mini-suite titled Green Eyes, is the album's most ambitious and accomplished song. Badu, 29, says the number is about her breakup with rapper Andre Benjamin, of the Atlanta-based group OutKast, who is the father of her three-year-old son Seven. The suite is divided into three "movements," beginning with a Holiday-esque jazz ditty ("Denial"), moving to a soul-infused second part ("Acceptance") and culminating in a cathartic final passage ("The Relapse"). The suite, which lasts 10 minutes although it never feels long, is a testament to her skill...
...Software is only the more prominent half of India's IT bonanza. A glimpse of the other big new line of business can be found at Selectronic, a three-year-old New Delhi company where young Indian workers are paid to watch American TV programs like ER and Chicago Hope as part of their job training. Selectronic also hires stenographers to transcribe medical records for doctors in California, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

His minders tried to force his hair straight, breaking comb teeth in his frizzy curls. It was a vain attempt by whites to make an Aboriginal child more like them. It didn't work...
Graduate schools could also teach more about how we die, particularly medical and nursing schools as well as seminaries. Current managers of nursing homes and geriatric wards could inquire about the A.M.A.'s course on end-of-life care and subscribe to the three-year-old Journal of Palliative Medicine. They can learn a lot from Veterans Affairs hospitals, many of which have made improvements in end-of-life treatment in the past five years...
...Then, some local children approached the church altar where Castro stood, carrying two bouquets of flowers. Fidel hugged each one and then presented them with a souvenir Cuban flag. Unfortunately, not all the kids were impressed. A three-year-old simply handed back Castro's gift. El Commandante, surprised at the rebuff, tried again. No luck. After a third attempt, he simply gave it to another child, who now had two flags he didn't know what to do with...
