...modern democracy it wants to be in the 21st. Lula, who as an impoverished kid shined shoes on the streets of Săo Paulo, has pumped more than $100 billion into social projects ranging from microfinance to grants for families who keep their kids in school. As a result, 52% of Brazil's 190 million people are now designated as middle class, up from 43% in 2002. At the same time, he hopes to make Brazil more business friendly with a $280 billion Growth Acceleration Program to boost infrastructure and cut taxes. "It's called doing things right," Lula says...
...Sahwari from the Western Sahara and Mayet eventually journeyed to Daklha, the Western Sahara’s last settlement, where he tracked down and recorded the music of Baamar Salmou. Doueh, as Salmou is known, had apparently refused recording contracts with major labels in Africa and Europe. The result of those recordings is nothing short of remarkable.

The result is an album whose ferocious commitment to several strains of the metal tradition belies its patent complexity and eagerness to appropriate other musical idioms. “The Unforgiven III” opens with familiar themes of Norse mythology and epic journey: “Set sail...
...running a government that promises more services than it has money for? Neither McCain nor Obama has put forth any concrete plan for deficit reduction. If, as the latest polls suggest, McCain is seen as less credible on the economy than Obama is - and losing ground as a result - the reason is probably that his evasion of reality feels staler than his opponent's. A Republican offering specific tax cuts but only vague pledges to reduce spending is old hat for today's voters. Although Sarah Palin helped McCain reclaim his maverick mantle for a few weeks, this meltdown...
