...album is its most telling, but Brooklyn-based alternative rock band MGMT’s sophomore release, “Congratulations,” achieves just that with its title track; an acoustic ode to success and the acclam that accompanies it. The song, much like their debut album’s opener, “Time To Pretend,” is puzzlingly ironic, in that one is pretty sure it is ironic, but can only guess to what extent. Whereas “Time to Pretend” presented an obvious pastiche of sex, drugs, and rock...
...their debut album “Oracular Spectacular,” MGMT—comprised of Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyndarden—traversed a wide variety of styles, achieving most success with the psychedelic synthpop hit “Kids.” For their second album, however, the group have refused to release any singles.

Nissan has introduced the all-electric Leaf, and this year Chevy will debut the long-anticipated gas-electric Volt. Those and future electric cars need battery packs, and at least a dozen American lithium-battery start-ups are competing with Asian companies such as Sanyo and Hitachi to provide them. "There's a tremendous amount of competition," says David Vieau, chief executive of A123 Systems, a Watertown, Mass., start-up powered by federal money that is vying...
...whom believe they may have killed Harry. Forsythe, naturally, is the cave of common sense they retreat to for sage advice ("You're not supposed to bury bodies whenever you find them - it makes people suspicious") and comfort (he woos and wins the young Shirley MacLaine, in her film debut). Hitchcock called on Forsythe twice in the '60s, as a man accused of murder in the 1962 TV drama I Saw the Whole Thing, and seven years later, as a government agent in Topaz. Except for an interlude of rapturous Cuban deceit between a Castro type and a femme fatale...
