...Anything.”Two years later, not only have JC and the boys quite literally said nothing—they’ve yet to release a forth album—but it seems as though his words are beginning to be reflective of the contemporary creative condition. Today??s music scene is one in which belief in the revolutionary potential of a song is viewed as an anachronistic pipedream and faith in rockstardom as a transcendent force is regarded as both naïve and haplessly nostalgic. This thoroughly postmodern sentiment is both the fate...
...Even in today??s world of multi-billion dollar university endowments and generous research grants, $1 billion can still make a tremendous splash in the life-sciences pool.

We hope that they can finally overcome the usual obstacles and efficiently pass these measures without delay...
...images and the realistic attitude that came with it. Our more sophisticated view of international injustice leads many to throw up their hands who might otherwise have raised a banner or taken up a megaphone. There is almost too much information available: reminding us all of the scope of today??s problems and the looming barriers to our good intentions, curbing our ambitions to save the world. We’re daunted by the incapacity of activism to make positive, lasting change, and often opt instead to improve conditions in our own neighborhoods through community service...
