...alcoholism: there ought to be someone, somewhere in a British newsroom who can verify that. And as lies go, Kennedy's were fairly victimless. No, there's definitely a dose of false sanctimony in the rush to trash Kennedy's mea culpa. It recalls the frenzy last autumn with which the British press jumped on model Kate Moss, after pictures seemed to show her snorting cocaine in a London studio. (Last week, a Metropolitan Police official invited Moss to return to Britain to make a confession of her own.) Perhaps confusing fashion models with role models, Britain's tabloids...
...autumn of 1864, the final months of the Civil War, and General William Tecumseh Sherman is leading 60,000 Union troops in his fearsome march across Georgia and the Carolinas. As Sherman's men humble the Confederate countryside, hundreds of runaway slaves follow along.

Which highlight is No. 1? When he juked an Oregon defender while wearing one shoe? When he stopped on a dime, watched a Fresno State defender fly by and darted across the field for a 50-yd. touchdown? Perhaps his quantum leap over a UCLA cornerback, legs split high in the air ŕ la Michael Jordan, finished with a flip into the end zone like...
...worth it to go to concerts. Sorry. The Pistols have spoken.Then again, I can think of one reason why there’s a glimmer in the darkness. One reason why I still don’t entirely regret vomiting out $75 to see two nights of Pixies last autumn. Live rock and roll shows are the best practice for therapy that I can think of.Note: I didn’t say they were therapy. I’m with Brecht on this one: live performance can’t really cathartically take away your pain. But I do feel...
