SAN FRANCISCO — Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the long-rumored Apple phone last week, describing it as a "revolutionary" product that combines a widescreen iPod with touch controls, a mobile phone and an Internet communications device.

Time plays tricks with taste.

Thirty years ago, the crooning vocal group called America struck critics, and serious rock fans, as the folk-rock equivalent of Velveeta — a superprocessed, terminally bland approximation of the real thing.

But yesterday's Velveeta has a way of turning into today's foie gras, as witnessed by America's recent image upgrade. Lately, a whole swath of credible, current rock acts have rushed to the group's aid and defense.

Alan Alexander Milne (January 18, 1882 – January 31, 1956), also known as A. A. Milne, was a British author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems. Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work.

Biography
Milne (pronounced m?ln) was born in Scotland but raised in London at Henley House School, a small independent school run by his father, John V. Milne. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells. He attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge where he studied on a mathematics scholarship. While there, he edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor.
