Editorial urges public hearings on case against magazine The Progressive, which is attempting to publish article on hydrogen bomb
Alecia Beth Moore-Hart (n. , Doylestown(d), Pennsylvania, SUA), cunoscută sub numele de scenă Pink (uneori scris P!NK), este o cântăreață americană, câștigătoare a două premii Grammy care a devenit celebră în 2000 datorită albumului Can't Take Me Home. Al doilea ei album, Missundaztood a devenit cel mai bine vândut din cariera sa. Spre deosebire de primul, care a avut influențe R&B, Missundaztood a fost orientat mai mult spre pop rock. Al treilea material discografic, Try This, nu s-a bucurat de un succes la fel de mare ca anteriorul. După o pauză, Pink s-a reîntors pe scena muzicală cu albumul I'm Not Dead (2006) care s-a comercializat în peste 1,5 milioane de exemplare numai în Statele Unite. În total, P!NK a vândut peste 29 de milioane de unități ale albumelor ei în toată lumea. Al cincilea album, Funhouse, a fost lansat în octombrie 2008.
Este recunoscută prin simțul ei vestimentar neconvențional și glasul său puternic. P!NK a fost clasată pe locul 12 în UK Music Hall of Fame pentru primii ani ai secolului al XXI-lea. Calitățile ei vocale au fost comparate cu cele ale lui Janis Joplin, considerată de P!NK unul dintre idolii săi. În septembrie 2013 P!NK a fost desemnată Femeia Anului 2013 de către revista Billboard, după ce artista americană a reușit să ajungă în acest an pentru prima oară pe primul loc în topul Billboard al albumelor.

US Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, speaking at dedication ceremonies for Arizona University College of Law, says that possibility that some judges might too casually grant requests to close entire trials to public may justify adoption of new court rules or even new legislation; emphasizes, however, that Constitution itself, as interpreted in recent Gannett v DePasquale Supreme Court decision, does not bar such closings when defense and prosecution agree to them (M)
