During the North American leg of the Elevation tour, the band showed footage of Charlton Heston defending his views on firearms followed by stark footage of a small child playing with a gun and violent scenes from Vietnam as a sarcastic introduction to the song Bullet the Blue Sky. The new album, All That You Can't Leave Behind, takes its title from a song dedicated to the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Burmese resistance leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and the liner notes urge fans...

This kind of thing sometimes follows Jang when he leaves South Korea...

So just the opposite is happening. "People are beginning to figure out where their foxholes and gun emplacements are to be located and where they're going to start the war," a Senate Republican leadership aide tells me. "The first shots have been fired over Social Security and the economy. On the economy, Republicans have the high ground because we believe we're trying to address...
