Jerusalem CNN  —  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quick to bask in the glow of Israel’s military success in Iran.

NEW YORK (AP) — The idea that Bruce Springsteen wrote, recorded and ultimately shelved entire albums of music may seem odd to the casual listener. Why put yourself through all that work for nothing? Yet “lost albums” are embedded in music industry lore. Some were literally lost.
