['Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR', 'Unless you\'re lucky enough to find your one-and-only true love in kindergarten, chances are, there\'s some ex out there who could say something nasty about you. Most of us aren\'t famous, so beyond a small circle of frenemies, there\'s no demand for the juicy details of our failed romances. Thank god.That\'s not so for stars like Halle Berry. News of her split with boyfriend, Gabriel Aubrey, has been lighting up black radio and the blogosphere for over a week now. And a lot of what\'s being said is downright vicious.  "HALLE BERRY DUMPED BY WHITE KNIGHT," blares one chat headline of blackvoices.com.Other unflattering stories cite anonymous sources that blame their age difference (she\'s 43, he\'s 34), or question her sanity.  "Why can\'t she keep a man?" asks many a commenter on the Web.  And even though she\'s a biracial woman ending an interracial relationship, Berry\'s romantic woes have become another talking point in the endless debate we single black people have about why we\'re alone: His side, "you are all just so demanding and mean." Her side: "if you all were any good, you\'d stand by us."  Can\'t we all just get along?  And if that\'s not possible, can\'t we all just shut up about it already?Nobody except the parties involved know why Halle and Gabriel split. She hasn\'t said much publicly about their break-up, and that\'s a good thing. This guy is more than just her ex; he\'s the father of her child. Anything nasty either of them says about the other will be on YouTube or floating through the Web long enough for their daughter to see it someday. And it\'s to his credit, as well, that the only thing he\'s offered on the record is a statement about how wonderful she is. And ... another shout out for handling a break up with class goes to singer Jill Scott, who talked about breaking up with the father of her son in this month\'s Essence magazine. "I don\'t want any wars," she says. "I hope he\'ll forgive me for any and everything that I\'ve done, and I forgive him for any and everything that he\'s done."That\'s the way a real woman handles her business, even when it\'s about a broken heart.'] == ['represent this text to find its subtitle about the same news but with slightly more depth.', 'Leave Halle Berry And Her Man Troubles Alone']

Question: The $1 Trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill Is In. Next Up: Amendments And Votes

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

The Senate is poised to begin voting on a roughly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package this week following a rare weekend session, culminating days and weeks of wrenching negotiations among a group of bipartisan lawmakers and President Biden.  The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which totals 2,702 pages, is part of what Democrats say is a two-track system to pass a bipartisan measure while also taking up a more ambitious spending bill they're driving.   Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called for the Senate to remain in session this past weekend as the chamber awaited final text of the legislation.  "These days it isn't easy to do major bills in the Senate, especially bipartisan ones, so I've tried to prod the negotiators alone when they've needed it, and given them the space when they've asked for it," Schumer said in late-night floor remarks Sunday evening, moments before the legislative text was unveiled.  "In the end, the bipartisan group of senators have produced a bill that will dedicate substantial resources to repair, maintain and upgrade our nation's physical infrastructure," he said. Schumer noted that it has been decades since Congress passed such a major, stand-alone investment in the country. He said the effort will help move America's infrastructure into "a new century." It directs about $550 billion in new spending to address crumbling roads, bridges, broadband and the nation's power grid, among other efforts.  The legislation followed a framework set by the group of bipartisan lawmakers and the Biden White House. That framework drew an agreement from all sides weeks ago, but members had yet to hammer out the text of the bill.  Schumer said that text will provide the base of the bill, then the Senate will consider additional amendments this week. He predicted the Senate could process the amendments and approve it "in a matter of days."  He said once those votes are complete, the Senate will move to Democrats' much larger spending effort, a $3.5 trillion proposal, to address what some have called "human infrastructure." That measure includes funding for child care, tax breaks and health care — and there are efforts to include even more wide-reaching provisions on immigration reform.  However, the approach, which uses so-called reconciliation to dodge Republican opposition, faces a series of difficult obstacles. Among them, the Senate parliamentarian will be charged with whether to green-light the proposals. Even if any of this legislation gains Senate approval, it must still head to the House, which is currently on recess through the rest of the month. House leaders have signaled they could return to take up the legislation, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has said they will not take up either of the two bills until both are ready, signaling a long, potentially months-long slog ahead.  Among the major new investments in the bipartisan package are:  $110 billion for roads and bridges; $39 billion for public transit; $66 billion for rail; $55 billion for water and wastewater infrastructure.  There are also billions for airports, ports, broadband internet and electric vehicle charging stations. The spending is broadly popular among lawmakers, bringing long-delayed capital for big-ticket items that cites and states can rarely afford on their own.  Paying for the package has been a challenge after senators rejected ideas to raise revenue from a new gas tax or other streams.  Instead, it is being financed from funding sources that might not pass muster with deficit hawks, including repurposing some $205 billion in untapped COVID-19 relief aid, as well as unemployment assistance that was turned back by some states and relying on projected future economic growth. Bipartisan support from Republican and Democratic senators pushed the process along, and Schumer wanted the voting to be wrapped up before senators left for the August recess. Last week week, 17 GOP senators joined all Democrats in voting to start work on the bipartisan bill. That support largely held, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., voting yes in another procedural vote to nudge the process along in the 50-50 Senate, where 60 votes are needed to overcome a filibuster an advance legislation. Whether the number of Republican senators willing to pass the bill grows or shrinks in the days ahead will determine if the president's signature issue can make it across the finish line. Cornyn said he expects Schumer to allow all senators to have a chance to shape the bipartisan bill and allow for amendments from members of both parties."I hope we can now pump the brakes a little bit and take the time and care to evaluate the benefits and the cost of this legislation," Cornyn said.

Question: Mac DeMarco: Alluringly Sleazy

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details

What's not immediately obvious about "Baby's Wearing Blue Jeans," a standout track from Mac DeMarco's Rock and Roll Night Club, is just how firmly DeMarco has his tongue planted in his cheek. It's not that the 22-year-old's previous work as Makeout Videotape is lacking in goofiness (Exhibit A), so much as that Rock and Roll Night Club has such a strongly realized aesthetic — from the unsettling deadpan gaze on the cover to DeMarco's newfound creepy-baritone delivery — to the point where it's hard to hear the Canadian's smirk underneath all the "implications." Take away the absurd radio skits sprinkled throughout the album, and suddenly a line like "Straight-leg or a bootcut?" feels like it's enhancing the portrait of a fetishist rather than fishing for chuckles. Still, the tune itself is irresistible. DeMarco already has a knack for crafting warm, infectious guitar hooks, and "Baby's Wearin' Blue Jeans" filters that lo-fi pop aesthetic through an eerie wash of glam. The backing track has all the carefree breeziness of a Puro Instinct or Real Estate tune, but DeMarco's cruise-control vocals channel Marc Bolan "Jeepster" vibes. It's those slowed-down vocal manipulations that beget all the ambiguity of intention; they lend a sense of "story" to a song that would have been lost had DeMarco stuck to a higher register. Suddenly, its otherwise innocent groove becomes alluringly sleazy. That is to say, by the time DeMarco sings, "Stick with me forever / Don't take off those jeans," it's hard not to humor him.

Question: Can You Keep Your Old Health Plan? It May Depend On Where You Live

President Obama's proposal to try to let more people keep their canceled health insurance policies sounded so simple when he announced it Thursday. "Insurers can extend current plans that would otherwise be canceled into 2014. And Americans whose plans have been canceled can choose to re-enroll in the same kind of plan," he said in unveiling the proposal at the White House. In other words, if your insurance company says so, you can keep your existing health policy for another year. But you might have missed what the president said right before that: "State insurance commissioners still have the power to decide what plans can and can't be sold in their states." Indeed. But there's a problem with that. "In some of these states it may actually be against state law to implement the president's proposal," says Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown University's Center on Health Insurance Reforms. Corlette says several states — some put the number at around a dozen — have basically written the Affordable Care Act's requirements into their own state laws. But it also means that starting Jan. 1, 2014, even if the federal government says canceled plans can continue for another year, state regulators might find their hands tied by their own state laws. Indeed, Corlette says eight states have already moved to prevent or restrict insurers from renewing plans now that extend into 2014. That's something the federal law does not prevent. But in most of the states, whether or not to allow insurers to reverse the cancellations will, indeed, be up to state regulators. And they seem to be divided on the issue, along lines that are not necessarily partisan. California's insurance commissioner, for example — a Democrat — has announced that he will support allowing insurers to go forward if they want to. But Mike Kreidler, the state of Washington's commissioner — also a Democrat, and a former member of Congress — has said an emphatic no. He says his state's health exchange is working smoothly and he sees no reason to make changes now. "It would have been very disruptive to try to figure out a way to implement the president's suggestion," Kreidler says. "And, quite frankly, I'm not even sure it would have been feasible under the best of circumstances." Kreidler says allowing canceled plans to continue would also be unfair to the state's insurance companies. The firms have already set their rates based on the assumption that most people will be buying plans that do meet the new requirements. "When you change the rules halfway through the game, all of a sudden everything they'd been operating under with certain assumptions goes away," Kreidler says. "And that would have been very difficult for the market." That may be true, says Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, but she's worried about people in her state being unable to get onto the balky federal website and get any insurance at all. That's why she's planning to take up the president's offer, even if the older plans don't cover a full array of benefits or pre-existing conditions, as the new rules require. "Our first responsibility is to protect the consumers," Praeger says, "and at least in my mind that means finding a way to let them stay on those policies if they want." About the only thing that's clear right now: More than ever, if you're shopping for an individual or small-business plan, the kind of health insurance you can get depends in large part on where in the country you live. AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:  From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish. ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:  And I'm Robert Siegel. The House of Representatives today passed the Keep Your Health Plan Act. It's aimed at people whose insurance policies have been cancelled because of the Affordable Care Act. Though it's not expected to have any future in the Senate, it does send a message. Meanwhile, President Obama's new proposal to fix the law is turning out to have some limitations of its own. NPR's Julie Rovner reports. JULIE ROVNER, BYLINE: It all sounded so simple when the president announced it yesterday. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Insurers can extend current plans that would otherwise be cancelled into 2014 and Americans whose plans have been cancelled can choose to reenroll in the same kind of plan.

Question: Supreme Court Majority To Attend State Of Union

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details

Chief Justice John  Roberts will lead a contingent of six Supreme Court justices at  the State of the Union  address Tuesday  night. That word from the  Supreme Court, ending speculation that he would skip the event. Roberts has attended  every State of the Union since his appointment  in 2005. But after last year's speech, he  suggested he might not in the future. In the 2010 State of  the Union speech,  President Obama  criticized a decision by the conservative Court majority that unleashed  corporate and union spending in elections. In response, Justice Samuel Alito  shook his head and mouthed the words, "not true." The chief justice  later characterized the event as a "public  hazing," in which members of  the Court "according to protocol," have to sit by, expressionless,  surrounded by members of Congress "cheering and hollering." Read More Those comments seemed a signal that  Roberts would not attend again. But in the wake of the Tucson shootings, he has  apparently reconsidered. After all, the mood  of the country right now seems to call for alleviating, not aggravating  divisions. The court would  not identify who the  other five justices are who plan to attend, but it is believed  that they are Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Reagan appointee, Clinton appointees  Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Obama appointees Sonia Sotomayor and  Elena Kagan. That  leaves as absentees the Court's most  conservative Justices — Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas. Alito  is out of town, teaching a course in  Hawaii.   Scalia has not  attended since 1997, and Thomas rarely attends, though he did attend  President Obama's first speech in 2009. In reality, Supreme Court  attendance is often spotty, even non-existent. Breyer is the only  Justice who thinks going is  important, and since 2001, he has  four times been  the only Justice  there. Indeed, in 2000, when he was sick, none of the Justices went. So the decision by Scalia  and Thomas not to go is hardly remarkable.  However, the two conservatives have been in the limelight over the past few days  for other reasons. Justice Scalia gave a  lecture on the Constitution to the Tea Party Caucus Monday night, which sparked  heated cries of partisanship. But the controversy fizzled when the  caucus invited Democrats to  participate and when legal ethics experts said there was nothing wrong with  Scalia's appearance, especially since he talks to the ACLU too. Justice Thomas, on the  other hand, couldn't escape his critics so easily when it turned out  that he failed to  disclose information about his  wife's income, as required under the Ethics In Government Act. After the liberal  watchdog group Common Cause revealed the omission over the weekend, Thomas  amended his financial disclosure forms for 13 years, detailing her employment — including nearly  $700,000 in salary over four  years from the conservative  Heritage Foundation. Thomas said the  omission was based on a "misunderstanding of the filing instructions."  There is  no criminal penalty for such a failure to disclose.

Question: Bird And The Bee's Second Album Takes Flight

The Bird And The Bee have released their second album Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future.   The Californian indie-pop duo are known for their catchy hooks and futuristic beats.  The Bird And The Bee have also recorded a self-titled 2007 album and an EP called Please Clap Your Hands. Rock critic Ken Tucker has a review of Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future. TERRY GROSS, host:  Our rock critic, Ken Tucker, has a review of the second CD by the duo The Bird And The Bee, which consists of singer Inara George and keyboardist-producer Greg Kurstin. Performing on stage with just an electric piano and drum machine, the two performers developed a strong following around their home base of Los Angeles. Their cover of the Bee Gees' "How Deep is Your Love" is currently being used by VH1 for its promotional spots. Here's Ken's review of The Bird And The Bee's new CD, "Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future."  (Soundbite of song, "My Love")  Ms. INARA GEORGE (Lead Singer, The Bird And The Bee): (Singing) My love, let me go again, right back, back to the top of the slide, down sad clown, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. My clown, let me love you, what's that back to the back of the rebound? Clown hang around, oh, oh, oh, oh...  KEN TUCKER: The voice of The Bird And The Bee is Inara George's slightly flat, delicate humming tone - a sound frequently devoid of affect but not cold or off-putting in any way. Instead, George's voice is a perfect complement to Greg Kurstin's chilly instrumental accompaniment as keyboards and drums collide politely. When Inara George sings about being lonely, she's almost clinical about it. Talking here about how her head feels empty and that her feeling of longing makes her want to take to her bed for a long period of time.  (Soundbite of song, "What's In The Middle")  Ms. GEORGE: (Singing) Where is the middle, is the middle of your mind? Is it the place where you stop, where you just stop trying? Call out the dogs and let them have a sniff, they might catch a little scent before you just forget it. Losing your head is such a common theme, all your brains are falling out, falling out the open seams, where is the heart, is the hub of the matter. I must empty out my skull of all this useless chatter, I want an empty head...  TUCKER: There's certainly an element of playfulness in this music. This is definitely an LA based act. Inara George is the daughter of the late Lowell George, leader of the influential Los Angeles cult rock '70s band Little Feat. And that showbiz heritage occasionally creeps into The Bird and The Bee's songs, such as this one - a poker-faced tribute to, of all people, David Lee Roth, lead singer of Van Halen.  (Soundbite of song, "Diamond Dave")  Ms. GEORGE: (Singing) When I was a child, you captured my devotion. I spent so many hours exploring mixed emotions, all of the ways you spoke to me, all of the things you provoked in me. I'll always love you, Diamond Dave.  TUCKER: I like the way The Bird And The Bee commence their salute to Diamond David Lee Roth by talking about how he captured their devotion when they were children and then proceed to sort out, quote, "All the things you provoked in me." Inara George and Greg Kurstin make music like good postmodernist creators, analyzing their influences in public and making art out of their very self-consciousness. They perform a similar deconstruction on a different genre - hip-hop - in this wittily prim, yet sinuous bit of music called "Polite Dance Song."  (Soundbite of song, "Polite Dance Song")  Ms. GEORGE: (Singing) Give it up for me please, put your hands in the air, if you know what's good for you, you'll wanna shake it like you just don't care. Would you please clap your hands? Now get up on your feet, I beg of you to get up and dance, it's such a crazy kick-ass beat, pardon me...  TUCKER: Would you be nasty with me - Inara George sings in the same tone of voice that would make her an excellent narrator for a Jane Austen audio book. Do you like dancing with me - she demurely enquires. I think we have a very nice quality - indeed they do. The Bird and The Bee also have a way of turning their compliments and accusations back on themselves. Take this jolly bit of put-down called "You're a Cad" in which a lover's faults are listed only to have Inara admit: I should be better, but I'm worse.  (Soundbite of song, "You're a Cad")  Ms. GEORGE: (Singing) So now you want the whole world to notice that you've come around. Now you expect we'll see how you're really so much better now. But I know the truth, I won't waste my youth on a cad and a bounder, a dog and a cheat, all the lives that you've had, all the hearts you eat. You're a rascal and a rogue, a villain and a crook. Still I tug at your line, I'm a fish on your hook. I should be better, but I'm worse...  TUCKER: As you may have gathered by now, there's an element of cutesiness to The Bird and The Bee's music. If you're not on their wavelength - fond of '70s dance music, '60s pop and a certain bossa

Question: As Congress Debates Immigration, DREAMers Are In Limbo Along With Their Families

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR:

Christian Olvera's parents know how to drive. But they're afraid to, because they're in the country illegally, and they don't have driver's licenses. So most days, Olvera drives them to work. Olvera is 26 years old, and looks even younger, with curly black hair and a baby face. But he's taken on a lot of responsibility. On paper, Olvera owns the family business. Even the house where they live, on a leafy street in Dalton, Georgia, is in his name. "People ask me, do you still live with your parents?," Olvera joked. "I'll say no, my parents live with me." The reason Olvera can do all these things for his family is DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The Obama-era program protects about 700,000 of the so-called DREAMers — people who were brought to the country illegally as children — from deportation, and allows them to work legally. But those protections are in jeopardy unless Congress takes action. The Senate will turn its attention to hashing out an immigration deal this week. And there's a lot stake — not just for the DREAMers, but for all the parents, siblings and other relatives who rely on them. Olvera has talked publicly about his family's situation and lobbied Congress for legislation to protect DREAMers. His mother and father arrived in the U.S. on a temporary visa almost 20 years ago, and stayed. The family wants to share their story but the parents asked not to be named because they fear being deported. Still, Olvera's mother says her family can have a better life here. "If you're a respectful, educated, hard-working person," she said through a translator, "the U.S. will always open its doors for you." It was DACA that opened doors for the family, by giving Olvera and his brother protection from deportation. DREAMers often become the de facto ambassadors for their families, in many aspects of daily life. The family bank accounts and credit cards are often in their names. They fill in for parents who are scared to attend parent-teacher conferences. They're able to go to college and get better jobs. One study found that DACA improves the economic situation of almost two-thirds of these families. But the Trump administration has moved to end DACA as early as March, saying that Congress needs to come up with a replacement. Olvera says his protections would expire in August. "I'm like a jug of milk, man. It's marked on there, and you don't know what to do after that," he said. "There's a lot of things that go into limbo." Polls consistently show that a majority of Americans favor allowing DREAMers to stay in the country. But common ground in Washington has been hard to find. The White House has floated a plan that includes a pathway to citizenship for nearly 2 million DREAMers. That number includes the roughly 700,000 who are currently protected by DACA. But in exchange, the Trump administration and hardliners in Congress want other concessions. "Any solution on DACA has got to include border security, including a wall. And an end of chain migration," said Republican Senator David Perdue of Georgia in remarks on the Senate floor last month. Perdue and President Trump want the U.S. to allow in more immigrants with desirable skills. The current policy, which they call "chain migration," emphasizes family reunification. That change could have big implications for the DREAMers and their parents. Immigration hardliners worry that if the DREAMers are allowed to become citizens, their families could, too. "This is now a mass amnesty vehicle for many that were brought here through no fault of their own," said R.J. Hauman, the director of government relations at the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which advocates for much lower immigration levels. "The fault has to lie somewhere, and that lies in the parents," Hauman said. "And that's a huge issue of why you have to end chain migration. So these people cannot turn around and sponsor the people who actually broke the law, and who brought them here illegally." Even without legal status, the parents of many DACA recipients have found ways to build lives and businesses. In Mexico, Olvera's father was an architect. When the family moved to Georgia, he worked in a carpet mill. Now the family owns a photography studio in Dalton. Olvera says his father started taking photos at birthday parties and weddings. "He took that design creativity and started picking up photography here," Olvera said. "It's something you could do freelance. And it grew into an idea. And then, with DACA it was fortified as a business." Olvera is helping out with that family business for now. What he really wants is to go away to college. But he feels like he can't do that. "I'm just scared honestly of that one call saying hey, your father's been detained," Olvera said. "And I'm going to blame myself for that, because I wasn't there to drive them." MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:  There's a lot at stake in this immigration debate not just for the DREAMers but for all the parents, sib

Question: Miles Davis: 'Kind of Blue'

The best-selling jazz record of all time is a universally acknowledged masterpiece, revered as much by rock and classical music fans as by jazz lovers. The album is Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. Kind of Blue brought together seven now-legendary musicians in the prime of their careers: tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb and, of course, trumpeter Miles Davis. Davis and his cool, measured trumpet style had been attracting attention in the jazz world since the mid-1940s. By 1958, at age 32, Davis was an international jazz star whose playing set the standard for jazz musicians of the day. And just as younger artists looked to Davis for guidance and inspiration, he looked to them for raw, new talent and innovative musical ideas. In the mid-1950s, Davis discovered gold in the subtle sounds of 25-year-old pianist Bill Evans, whom he recruited into his late-1950s sextet. Evans would prove an essential contributor to the Kind of Blue sessions. Even before Kind of Blue, Davis was experimenting with "modal" jazz, keeping the background of a tune simple while soloists played a melody over one or two "modes," or scales, instead of busy chord progressions — the usual harmonic foundation of jazz. In addition, Evans introduced Davis to classical composers, such as Béla Bartók and Maurice Ravel, who used modalities in their compositions. Davis also drew on his knowledge of the modal qualities in the blues. With Evans, Davis worked up a few basic compositional sketches, and when the musicians arrived at the studio on March 2, 1959, they were given the outlines. Davis wanted to capture the musicians' spontaneity — and he wanted to capture it on the first take. The first tune recorded, "Freddie Freeloader," is representative of the "first take" magic on the record, and it features the happy, swinging playing of pianist Wynton Kelly, who had recently joined Davis' sextet. The second tune recorded that day ended up as the lead and probably best-known album track. "So What" took an unusual tack: bassist Paul Chambers stated the opening melody, and with Evans playing rather unorthodox chords underneath, the song serves as somewhat of a fanfare or overture, hinting at what was in store for the listener. Davis was at a musical peak in the 1950s and had been preparing the ideas that would become Kind of Blue for years. A year before the recording, Davis slipped Evans a piece of paper on which he'd written with the musical symbols for "G minor" and "A augmented." "See what you can do with this," Davis said. Evans went on to create a cycle of chords as a meditative framework for solos on "Blue in Green." The second day of recording did not take place for seven weeks. When the band finally gathered again, this time minus pianist Kelly, the first tune recorded was essentially a series of Flamenco- and North African-derived scales. Ashley Kahn, author of Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece, says that the resulting recording possesses an almost spiritual quality as the musicians — particularly Coltrane — seemed to take a reverent approach to the composition. For the tune "All Blues," Davis again played with the simplest of elements. He took a standard 4/4 time blues and gave it a waltz feel in 6/8. Evans said that was part of Davis' genius — creating a simple figure that becomes much more. The setting allowed alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley to return to his big-band roots. To the musicians who recorded it, Kind of Blue was just another session when it was released in August 1959. But the disc was quickly recognized by the jazz community as a classic. Jazz musicians were startled by the truly different sound on an album that laid out a clear roadmap for further modal explorations. "So What" became the tune, the one that every musician — not just the practitioners of jazz — simply had to know. The other tracks also quickly became standards, and the individual solos throughout the record continue to inspire musicians to this day. Musicians from all genres perform, record and study the album's songs, and the influence of the songs on culture beyond music continues to grow.  Drummer Cobb says it all comes down to simplicity — the reason Kind of Blue has remained so successful for so long. And because of its inherent balance, historian Dan Morgenstern adds, the album never wears out its welcome.

It was a fitting denouement among men who played a historic role in the Watergate scandal, and in changing journalism. It was also the first time that Bernstein had ever met Felt, who died yesterday at 95. The relationship among the three men was complicated. It was Felt, the No. 2 man in the FBI during the 1972 Watergate break-in, who became a key source for the two young reporters. Many speculate on Felt's motives, but no one ever will know exactly because Felt was 91 and showing signs of dementia when his identity was revealed. Woodward met Felt by chance when he was a young man in his late-20s in the Navy. He nurtured a filial-like relationship, seeking out Felt for career advice. When the Watergate story broke, Woodward called Felt, promising him what's known in journalistic parlance as "confidentiality." It meant that Woodward would use Felt's information but never reveal Felt as his source. And he never did.  In the modern history of journalism, there is little dispute that Deep Throat is by far the most famous known anonymous news source. Nor is there any dispute that the Post's reliance on Deep Throat played a role in popularizing the still–controversial use of anonymous sources. But it also showed what can happen when journalists keep their word.  Ironically, when Woodward referred to Felt inside the Post newsroom, he told his editors, "My friend told me on deep background" when relaying information. In his notes, Woodward identified his source as "M.F." for my friend, even though those are also Felt's initials. It was then-Managing Editor Howard Simons who dubbed the secret source Deep Throat based on a notorious pornographic movie in 1972 with the same name. The nickname stuck. Among several unanswered questions is a basic one: Would Felt have become such a cultural icon if his moniker were "My Friend?" The nick name Deep Throat appeared for the first time in Playboy magazine in May 1974, when an excerpt of the book All the President's Men ran. Felt was one of many anonymous sources the pair used but he drew the lion's share of attention because of the sexy name.    It was only when the book came out that Felt learned how Woodward and Bernstein privately referred to him. He was embarrassed and furious, and thought Woodward had betrayed him. He was equally unhappy when the book became a hugely successful movie in 1976. His anger unnerved Woodward, but neither he nor Bernstein ever waivered in keeping their promise. Over the decades, both reporters were repeatedly asked when they spoke publicly: "Who is Deep Throat?" They never even gave a hint. Through the decades it became a parlor game to figure out who was the source high up in the Justice Department who betrayed the Nixon administration. Articles and books were written fingering people. A University of Illinois class spent four years investigating Deep Throat's identity. The class held a press conference at the Watergate in 2003 to announce their suspect. But they were wrong. Each time an author was certain of Deep Throat's identity, Woodward and Bernstein said nothing. Neither did Felt. In fact, Felt denied he was Deep Throat in his 1979 memoir, The FBI Pyramid. He wrote that he had only met with Woodward once during the Watergate investigation. Actually, Woodward secretly had contact with him 18 times during the years from the break-in until Nixon's 1974 resignation. Most famous were the late-night meetings in an Arlington, Va., garage portrayed in the movie. There were 6 garage meetings, 7 phone calls, one rendezvous at Felt's house in Fairfax, Va., one meeting at a Maryland tavern, one on-the-record visit to Felt's FBI office and two other meetings, according to Woodward's papers  that were sold to the University of Texas along with Bernstein's for $5 million in 2003. The Deep Throat mystery lasted 33 years — a record for such a high-profile secret in a gossipy town like Washington, D.C. It lasted that long because Woodward and Bernstein kept their promise of confidentiality. Ben Bradlee, the editor of The Washington Post during Watergate, told me he didn't learn Felt's identity until 1976. "Ben and I made a decision that on some of them [sources] we wouldn't ask," Simons told the pair in 1973 when they interviewed him for their book. "For instance, Deep Throat. You know, we've never wanted to know." Woodward was shocked. Why not? "Because you really didn't want to tell us," Simons said. "Sure. At one point we could have said to you, 'OK. We must know." But they didn't. While it may be hard to believe, over three decades only five people knew Felt's identity — Woodward, Bernstein, Felt, Bradlee and Woodward's wife, Elsa Walsh, whom Woodward told in the early 1980s. Finally, Felt and his family decided to reveal the identity on May 31, 2005, in Vanity Fair

represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is in Washington on Thursday, making the rounds on Capitol Hill in hopes that the U.N. won't fall victim too much to U.S. budget cuts.  His trip comes at a time when the U.N. has become more assertive, both in Libya and in the Ivory Coast. This week, U.N. and French helicopters bombed weapons depots in the Ivory Coast as a way to neutralize forces still loyal to Laurent Gbagbo, the man who lost last year's presidential election. But as Ban arrived in Washington, Gbagbo was still holed up in his presidential compound in Abidjan, and the U.N. secretary-general sounded frustrated. "Why 10 million people of Cote d'Ivoire should suffer from insistence and persistence of just one man who is sticking to power — it is not acceptable," he said. Ban said the action by U.N. and French helicopters was "exactly as mandated by the U.N. Security Council Resolution 1975." "The United Nations headquarters were under constant threat and attack, and there were many civilians killed," he said. "That is why I have authorized to take necessary military measures in full support of French troops." Analysts looking at the moves in the Ivory Coast and Libya have said the U.N. seems to be emboldened to take stronger action. But the secretary-general said the U.N. is doing what it's supposed to do, having learned from the past. "It is not a matter of whether the U.N. is emboldened or not — we are doing our proper work," he said. "At the same time, we have learned from the tragic lessons of the past. Look at the case of Rwandan massacre and also the massacre in Srebrenica. All these are tragic lessons that we have learned. The leaders of the world have introduced and adopted a very important principle: that is, responsibility to protect." And Libya, he said, is the first sign that member states are taking that notion seriously – stepping in when a government fails to protect its own citizens. Ban's meetings with U.S. lawmakers in Washington will include U.N. skeptics like the chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. The Florida Republican declined an interview request. She has been calling for cuts to U.S. payments to the U.N. as a way to force management reforms, and is holding a hearing Thursday. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice told a House subcommittee hearing Wednesday that the U.S. is pushing for reforms, and she defended the Obama administration's more friendly approach to the U.N. "As we all know, America's resources and influence are not limitless," she said. "That's why the United Nations is so important to our national security. It allows us to share the costs and burdens of tackling global problems, rather than leaving those problems to fester or the world to look to America alone." Secretary-General Ban said he has called on all of his managers to trim budgets by 3 percent, and he has been promising other reforms.  The U.N., he said, counts on U.S. support. "The United States is the largest financial contributor," he said. "Thus, we need such a strong support — political, financial and all other developmental support." He will also need the Obama administration's support to win another term as secretary-general – but he declined to say when he will formally announce his bid. RENEE MONTAGNE, host:  This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Steve Inskeep is visiting our member station KWMU in St. Louis today. Im Renee Montagne.  The secretary-general of the U.N. is in Washington, D.C. today, making the rounds on Capitol Hill. Ban Ki-moon wants to make sure the U.N. won't be a major victim of U.S. budget cuts. He's lobbying at a time when the U.N. is taking a more assertive role, both in Libya and the Ivory Coast.  The secretary-general sat down with NPR's Michele Kelemen to discuss all that.  MICHELE KELEMEN: This week, U.N. and French helicopters bombed weapons depots in Ivory Coast, as a way to neutralize forces still loyal to Laurent Gbagbo, the man who lost last years elections. But as I met with Ban Ki-moon in Washington last night, Gbagbo was still holed up in his presidential compound in Abidjan and the U.N. secretary-general was sounding frustrated.  Secretary-General BAN KI-MOON (United Nations): Why the 10 million people of Cote d'Ivoire should suffer from insistence and persistence of this - just one man who is sticking to power? It's not acceptable.  KELEMEN: It was surprising to see U.N. and French helicopters, really, on the offensive in Ivory Coast this week. And I wonder if this signifies a new assertiveness by the United Nations.  Sec.-Gen. KI-MOON: We did exactly, as mandated by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1975. The United Nations headquarters were under constant threat and attack, and there were many civilian people who were killed. That is why I have authorized to take necessary military measures in full support of French troops, Licorne.  KELEMEN: A lot of analysts are looking at the actions in the Ivory Coa

The treaty remains in place for one year from any announcement of withdrawal, meaning Iran’s lawsuit will proceed. It was negotiated after the C.I.A. helped stage a coup in Iran that Iranians still cite as a gross violation of the country’s sovereignty. The 1953 coup, code-named Operation Ajax, was engineered by Kermit Roosevelt Jr., a grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt, and installed a government that two years later cemented the treaty with President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The treaty sets up commercial relationships, tax structures and access to each nation’s courts. None of that has applied since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Question: Obama To Let Old Health Policies Remain In Effect

President Barack Obama says health insurance companies can continue to sell policies canceled under his health care law for at least one more year to existing customers. Obama is trying to head off a political furor created by a wave of cancellation notices hitting people who buy their coverage individually, as well as some small businesses. Their current plans don’t meet requirements of the new health care law.

Major news today: President Obama says he will make a change to the Affordable Care Act that will allow millions of people whose individual insurance plans have been canceled to keep those plans for another year. The president also acknowledged that the problems with Obamacare's rollout have cost him the trust of Americans and that he's going to have to work to get it back. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: And I think it's legitimate for them to expect me to have to win back some credibility on this health care law, in particular, and on a whole range of these issues in general. And, you know, that's on me. I mean, we fumbled the rollout on this health care law. There are a whole bunch of things about it that are working really well, which people didn't notice.

While the president's move in effect temporarily grandfathers existing policies that don't meet the Affordable Care Act requirements, the House is voting tomorrow on a plan, which would allow insurers to sell those old policies to new consumers.

Question: Tonsillectomy Guidelines Could Reduce Kids' Surgeries

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details.

So who do I see to get my tonsils back? All right, I'm not sure I really want them returned because then I'm afraid I'd have to hand back the cool astronomy book my Mom brought me after the operation. Still, in looking over new guidelines on when kids should have their tonsils removed -- and when they shouldn't -- I'm thinking I probably could have avoided the knife way back when. Read More More than 530,000 American kids get their tonsils out each year. And yet, until now, there hasn't been a systematic look in this country at when exactly a tonsillectomy is warranted. "There's a lot of controversy when to do surgery for tonsil infections  and when not to," Dr. Sanford  Archer, a surgeon at the University of Kentucky, told Shots. Most kids do outgrow tonsil problems, after all. And any surgery, including tonsillectomy, carries risks as well as benefits. So a bunch of experts convened by the American Academy of  Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, including Archer, sifted through the medical evidence and put together the first solid  U.S. guidelines on when to yank out tonsils and when to leave them be. Kids usually get sent for tonsillectomy after a bunch of bad, sore throats. But how many is too many? The guideline gives this advice: If a kid has had fewer than seven throat infections in the past year, then it's probably a good idea to hold off on surgery. If a kid has five or more throat infections a year for two years, then it's probably OK to get the tonsils out. Same goes for three or more in three years. Also, if swollen tonsils are causing sleep apnea, then that's an independent reason to consider surgery regardless of infections. Of course, there are exceptions and details to consider.But the guidelines give a better framework for a discussion between parents and doctors. In case you're curious, the cost of an outpatient tonsillectomy ranges  from around $3,000 to $5,000. Archer told Shots, "I believe that if these guidelines are followed across the board we'll see a reduction in operations. And the ones done will be more justified."
