...only form you’ve still always got to ante up to enjoy. In that sense, is my ambivalence about attendance, coupled with my spotty level of concern for the legality of myTunes sharing, going to singlehandedly kill the record industry?

President George W. Bush talked last week for the first time about how he, as Commander in Chief, might respond to an epidemic, raising the possibility of using troops to enforce quarantines.
