...Shubra Khema, one of Cairo?s largest and poorest districts, a man identifying himself as a Mubarak volunteer followed a TIME reporter out of a polling station at the Omar bin Abdulaziz school to allege in a whisper that fellow NDP election workers and election officials had committed more than 200 instances of vote fraud. The man, who asked that his name not be used because he feared being arrested in retribution, claimed that party workers provided Mubarak with the names and registration numbers of other registered voters, and election officials then allowed the imposters to vote using the false...
...want to scare a music critic, whisper these four words in his ear: new Paul McCartney album. In the 35 years since the Beatles broke up, McCartney has made 19 albums. Some have been good. Many have not. McCartney admits that he writes and records with varying degrees of seriousness, and the throngs who will pay any price to watch Sir Paul beep-beep his way through Drive My Car (he was the top-grossing live act in the world as recently as 2002) wouldn't think of holding that against him--nor would they think of declaring...
...music, West's juxtapositions make your head nod. In life, they can sometimes make it spin.

The most successful new products are "consumer driven, not engineering driven," he says. Their benefits are obvious: whisper-quiet dishwashers or space-saving stackable washer-dryers rather than just machines with more powerful motors. That trend affects every consumer product, he says. Look at MP3 players. Before the iPod, they competed on how much memory they had. Apple figured out that the experience of the gadget mattered more and killed the category...
With a bracing lack of melodrama, Canadian Leslie Feist whisper-sings her way through a classic fadeaway ballad. The instrumentation is spare, and the lyrics are of the "Don't you wish/ We could forget that kiss" variety, but Feist's warm vocal performance makes failing relationships sound so romantic. --By Josh Tyrangiel
