• Live 8 Concert - who really benefits?

  The Live 8 Concert came and went with the usual fanfare. But who are the real winners? Could it be the entertainers who give of their "free" time to resurrect or promote careers at the biggest venue of all time, but rarely reach into their own pocket.

• Manila's Tipping Point

  If the wiretap scandal had happened earlier, Filipinos would be in the streets by now demanding snap elections. But the fact that they are in the malls instead getting a bizarre satisfaction out of alien attack in War of the Worlds definitely means this wiretapping controversy has yet to "tip" or, according the influential book, The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, become infectious enough to sweep the nation into another people power movement.
