How Bush Destroyed the Republican Party
A president driven by ideology. A Congress rife with corruption. A political party hellbent on a "permanent majority." A leading scholar examines the radicals who hijacked the GOP — and wrecked the longest conservative ascendancy in American history
• Video: Five Ways Bush Sunk the GOP
The failure of the administration of George W. Bush — and the accompanying crisis of the Republican Party — has caused a political meltdown of historic proportions. In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, Bush enjoyed the greatest popularity ever recorded for a modern American president. Republicans on Capitol Hill, under the iron rule of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, fattened their coffers through a fearsome...

Fall Movie Preview
The Smart Season: First looks at fall's 31 hottest movies by Peter Travers
Buzz off if you think the big fall whoop is "High School Musical 3." Or Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson trying to steal scenes from a dog in Marley and Me. Or Robert De Niro and Al Pacino slumming in another paycheck movie in Righteous Kill. My admittedly selective guide to what's up in film for the rest of 2008 is all about punch and provocation.

Randy Newman battles Republicans, death and a goddamn alligator
Randy Newman limps across the blue carpeting of his home studio, past the grand piano and a window looking onto a stream running through his back yard, and pauses at a cluttered countertop, his eyes settling on a piece of sheet music.

• Smoking Section: The Police's Final Show
After 150 shows spread out over five continents, the Police wrapped up their blockbuster 15-month reunion tour on August 7th with a bang: a freewheeling, occasionally silly two-hour show at New York's Madison Square Garden that was billed as the band's final performance ever. "It's been difficult, but we've actually navigated this thing together as mature males, and we've had a lot of fun doing it," Sting told Rolling Stone the day before the...

Twice in a Lifetime: Byrne, Eno Reunite for New Disc
Talking Heads singer and art-rock legend on their 30-year collaboration
One fine day' — there's a funny story about that," Brian Eno says with a smile, referring to one of the 11 songs on Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, the new, gleaming art-pop album the British producer and occasional solo artist has made with his friend, ex-Talking Heads singer-guitarist David Byrne.
Sitting at a table across from Byrne in the latter's Lower Manhattan office, Eno says that at a point early in the record's extended birth, he played a piece of instrumental music...
