...hottest act (he has two songs in the Top 20) is more than his resume. He happens to be very good, particularly at setting a mood with his rumbling baritone. (Eminem declared 50 his favorite rapper and made him the first signee to his Shady/Aftermath Records label.) Also, perhaps because he's escaped death more times than Rasputin, 50 is shockingly upbeat, both in conversation and, at times, in his music. "Why not?" he asks.

Though they constitute only 20 percent of the Massachusetts prison population, Latino inmates already make up 90 percent of so-called “gang members,” a label loosely applied by prison guards to categorize supposedly high-threat inmates. By eliminating hearings, Senate Bill 1311 only increases the likelihood that discriminatory and unfair classifications in prisoner punishment will continue...
