Hot fact-checking action like you've never seen it before! Shattered Glass ably tells the story of Stephen Glass, a young New Republic reporter who fabricated stories. Doesn't exactly sound like movie material, does it? But Glass is more about 1990s-style ambition than journalism, and it works so well because every character in it is pockmarked with an almost toxic need to succeed; Glass seems less like a sociopath than an overambitious kid who took things too far.

“Everyday People”

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
