...guitar. Their stage banter is hysterical. Pelle cranks up his Swedish accent to explain to the audience why the Hives' sets are so short: "We have been told by the government of the U.S.A. that we cannot play for more than 45 minutes. It would be dangerous to the youth." After a particularly slick guitar performance, Nicholaus grabs the mike and, in full-on Swedish tourist mode, says, "Don't be shy, Shee-cago! You know I'm the forgking best!" They're just a couple of wild and crazy guys...

His mission: to figure out what a little bird had to do with the deaths of a night porter in Hokkaido and the country's most beloved rock star...
...remains fearful of allowing its subjects the freedom they thrive on. At a time when 60% of the people in Vietnam were born after the American troops left, most of Vietnam's leaders are senior citizens. It's hardly shocking, then, that when a Vietnamese magazine whose name means "youth" held a poll among its readers two years ago, Bill Clinton proved twice as popular as the Vietnamese Prime Minister.
