Yang was initially arrested in Kunming on April 26, 2002, after entering China with a friend’s passport and using a fake identification card. Yang had been banned from China after participating in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests for democracy...
...American Idol. The rented eight-bedroom manse that houses Idol's finalists, in the mountains above Los Angeles, is like the show itself: big, showy and just tacky enough to be amusing. There are faux-castle turrets, an Egyptian-style horse statue, a gargantuan wooden wagon, a mammoth futuristic fake-suede couch--and three very ordinary teenage women battling America's largest case of butterflies.

The story of two brothers (with Christine Lahti as their...
...instructed to do so by a researcher. Two-thirds followed instructions and kept raising the voltage--right up to levels marked DANGER: SEVERE SHOCK and XXX. Milgram found that compliance was greatest when participants couldn't see the face of their subject (although they could hear an actor's fake screams) and when they took their instructions from an official-looking scientist in a white lab coat...
