...band's fourth album, the new explosive Life Won't Wait, Rancid makes that ever important step toward significantly altering its approach while building upon the melodic punk sound that made the band so popular and radio friendly. There's still some signature Clash echoing throughout the record, especially on the track "Lady Liberty", but Rancid certainly forges ahead creatively and lyrically. Not only does the band evolve away from its unoriginal, limited beginnings, the group provides the public with a punkreggae eclecticism that is sure to please...

...course it is Beijing's bosses who are responsible for making their nation what former U.S. diplomat Chas. W. Freeman calls a "uniquely credible miscreant," guilty of behavior that deserves to be picked on. But the natural suspicion and swings in sentiment that always affect U.S. attitudes toward China have been hyperamplified by a convergence of election-year politics, Republican interparty fissures, and a string of unfortunate events, like the allegations of illicit Chinese campaign contributions, Indian and Pakistani nuclear blasts and reports of a possible national-security breach in U.S. satellite sales to China.
