The stock-market crash in 1929 happened in one day. The social consequences lasted for years. It was the prolonged, grinding economic weakness in the aftermath of that one-day event that framed Nazism’s political takeover in 1933 and the rise of lesser-known but comparably deadly racist regimes throughout Europe.

I had been going through the rock/alternative section meticulously, and alphabetically, not skipping a single letter or bin or record. My hopes of finding some long-sought-after, rare circular slab were growing dim in this part of the store. There were literally dozens more sections and genres to go through. I was ready to give up the hunt if I didn’t find anything by the “J” section.

Blame who you will, but the potentials of digital cinema are awfully slow in being realized. The national chains are still in the process of upgrading their multiplex houses to digital projectors primarily for the costs savings they will eventually represent: They’ll be showing the same kind of movies, but they’ll be saving the costs of having to transport and tend to bulky, heavy reels of 35-millimeter film.

“Imported From Detroit.” That’s Chrysler’s new slogan. You’ve gotta admit, it’s better than “Buffalo For Real.” And I must say that when I first heard the new Chrysler tag line, which debuted during this year’s Super Bowl, it was a ho-hum moment for me. Even with Eminem (Eminem?) as Chrysler’s new front man, I had my doubts.

In Chinese legend, tea leaves picked by fairies using not their hands but just their mouths yielded brewed tea that would bring prosperity and cure diseases, and now the historic, picturesque Jiuhua Mountain Tea Plantation (in Gushi, Henan province) has promised to hire up to 10 female virgins to provide the equivalently pure and delicate tea leaves, picked with the teeth and dropped into small baskets worn around the women’s necks.
