...Games is the greatest joy," says Yan, who won the national doubles title with Zheng in October. "Foreigners are more individualistic and care about their WTA ranking, but we feel proudest when we do something good for our province or our country." Such national spirit is rare in the hyper-competitive world of pro tennis, but it's not surprising: the Chinese women's squad, like all other athletes in China, has to attend patriotic education classes as part of their national-team training...
...Delisle spent several months in North Korea's capital overseeing the production of a French animated TV show. While the show may be forgotten, his comix diary of the experience will not be. With a great deal of dry humor, Delisle examines the workings of the world's most hyper-controlled society, where the only lights in the city seem to be the ones focused on monuments to the "Dear Leader."

...Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin are hardly exemplars of the high-tech urban culture. While many of Warp Records’ other IDM (so-called “intelligent dance music,” although it is seldom danceable) groups use the trendiest technology to produce cold, hyper-digitized beats, BoC has rejected “laptop music” and, instead, embraced the wavering grittiness of analog equipment and out-dated sound samplers. The reclusive duo produce their mind-altering music—sprinkled with hi-fi distortions of tape-recorded voices, instruments, and film clips—without...
