...conducting lesson and a personalized cheer from the cheerleading team. If anything, the high turnout and raucous bidding--Crocker was clearly not present for long enough to appreciate just how lively it was--reflects Eliot House's ability to develop into a more rambunctious and outgoing community, despite the author's assertion to the contrary...
...embrace a life he'd all but given up on. Some readers may find the novel a little too sweet-spirited and lacking in a strong enough sense of evil to make the triumphs of goodness seem earned. Yet as a response to best-sellerdom, the book--and its author--has the bravery to strike off in a new direction. The intrinsic difficulties of completing a novel, says Guterson, "pose enough problems without letting yourself get distracted by external problems."

Krauthammer's ill-considered essay belies his usual knee-jerk hostility toward everything Clinton does. Krauthammer claims that the President meant for his "doctrine" to be "universal," and then the author unwittingly cites cases of U.S. nonintervention that disprove this claim.

The "tangled bank" he had initially attributed to an unnamed power, but in the third and subsequent editions, he included God in the evolutionary process. The book now ends on this glorious sentence, over which Raven exults: "There is grandeur in this view of life, with...
...with the joy of spontaneous creation. With "See You Again," Falkner slows the pace down with a flow of eastern influenced guitars floating above a lush backing of piano and drum shuffle. "I Live," the only song in the set from Falkner's first solo album, Jason Falkner Presents Author Unknown, brought cheers from the die-hard fans. More of a straightforward rock number, the song grew into a crescendo of cymbal crashes and guitar slashes not present with the restraint of the album version. After 45 minutes, the set came to an introspective close with "Goodnight Sweet Night," gently...
