...smooth-flowing album that’s a pleasure from start to finish. On previous albums, she drifted from on extreme to another, from lush electronic soundscapes to unornamented acoustic guitar lines. With “Son,” she finds her balance: all the elements—vocal lines, guitar riffs, minimal percussion, and electronic textures—intertwine in complementary fashion. Molina sings with a beautiful, breathy tone, and her airy Spanish lyrics meld seamlessly with the soft musical underpinnings beneath. On the album’s opener, “Rio Seco,” Molina...

The set for the red, decadent bar scene was especially attractive. With 22 cast members, the larger-than-usual cast...
...China, everybody’s getting cheaper clothes. The onus is on policymakers to help the seamstress make a seamless transitions to a competitively sustainable job. Unfortunately, the gains of free trade are enjoyed by the masses and go relatively unnoticed, while the losses fall on a concentrated, vocal few. Though the needs and concerns of those who are being hurt should be recognized and dealt with, politicians should look at the big picture of what is best for the United States rather than what is best for any particular sub-constituency. The arguments against protectionism extend beyond the theory...
