...next Mike Myers. When he auditioned for MTV in 1998, he slathered himself with shaving cream and went into mock convulsions. "That to me was genius," says MTV programming president Brian Graden. "He delivers attitude and pushes buttons, but he provokes people with a smile on his face instead of a mean smirk." Green's self-titled program has since become one of the music channel's top three shows...
...songs typically mix deep bass grooves with bright rivers of strings. Listening to a Jerkins song is like driving through the 'hood in a limo. Even his missteps intrigue.

Gleaning information on the enemy's whereabouts remains challenging, which is why the Army is striving instead to track, on computers, the location of the good guys. If a unit in the valley below doesn't show up on your screen as a "friendly," you're free to attack it. And rather than spending 15 minutes using the time-consuming radio to call in fire through several...
