Bush could take a few lessons from 007

In honor of the double-bill of "Casino Royale" (2006) and "Goldfinger" (1964) recently hosted in Barnum 008 by the venerable Film Series, I'd like to suggest a few ways the Bush Administration can learn from everybody's favorite British Commander, and by emphasizing the "007" in "2007", perhaps even save the world.

Concert Review | Gym Class Heroes saved by opener k-os

If you happened to be among the sold-out crowd at Avalon on Saturday night, you may have felt like you were in some sort of strange, parallel universe. To many fans' astonishment, the order in which the groups appeared seemed to be intentionally backwards. Opening with a short, 30-minute set, k-os put on the best show by far, followed by P.O.S., then the mediocre RX Bandits, leaving the headliners, the Gym Class Heroes, who everyone came to see, as the worst performance of the night.

The Boston Globe ("Doubts raised on linking of Iran to US deaths in Iraq," Feb. 14), among other major news sources, has a fair treatment of this issue.
