You’ve probably never heard of Barrie. The capital of Southern Ontario’s cottage country has a population of 125,000 and is largely undistinguished among the hundreds of other communities of its size that dot the landscape just north of the 49th parallel. Except that tomorrow, Barrie will host Canada’s Live 8 concert, featuring performances by Bryan Adams, Céline Dion, Gordon Lightfoot, the Barenaked Ladies, and the Tragically Hip, among others...
Manuel Chea, then a systems administrator on the 49th floor of Tower 1, did everything right on 9/11.

Malcolm evidently thinks a great deal of Canada's more than 25 million citizens, and he has fashioned a compelling portrait of them. That is a major feat, considering that Canada is so often taken for granted, especially by Americans.

Thanks in part to a rave review from Al Goldstein in Screw magazine, and to a catchy ad campaign that ran in New York dailies ("If you like head, you'll love Throat"), word of, shall we say, mouth spread quickly. The first week's gross was a robust $30,033. What did the audience find? A mildly bright, good-natured comedy...
Pangilinan’s second race was the 100-yard breaststroke, her second best of the two breaststroke events. She finished in 37th. Pangilinan was ranked 49th going into the race with a seed time of 1:03.65, and although her time in the preliminaries was a slower 1:04.00, she did improve her position by 12 spots...
