Birds died from botulism in Oregon, and a 90-lb. baby boy was born to Radha, a rhinoceros living in Los Angeles, after a 515-day pregnancy (August has been good to Radha...

In a half-decade full of switchback curves and turning points, however, the starting line may have been a moment when Springsteen opened Joe Klein's luminous 1980 biography of Woody Guthrie. Nebraska, the solo album he released in 1982, has direct roots in Guthrie tunes like Pretty Boy Floyd, just as Springsteen's current populism has models in the blue-collar activism of the 1930s...
