Jazz musicians have taken inspiration from the classics before, but surely songwriter-singer-pianist Barber is the first to base a song cycle on Ovid's Metamorphoses. Her Pygmalion is sweetly yearning, her Persephone sexy over a Latin beat. In the hard-edged Whiteworld/Oedipus, the Greek King is an arrogant white imperialist in the Third World. These intricate, ruminative works are a long way from the blues in B flat--and they're worth the stretch...

Playing a barber might seem a tame choice for JOHNNY DEPP. But not when it's Sweeney Todd. Depp and director Tim Burton--who previously teamed up on Edward Scissorhands and last year's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory--are reuniting for a movie version of the Stephen Sondheim musical about the murderous London barber who shaves his clients a little too closely.

Not because it would necessarily require a Rockefeller to fund it - as Pollan points out, there are other ?grass farmers? around the country who are succeeding with the help...

...After the tour, Barber helped cook one the best meals of my life. My notes are filled with superlatives: "by far the best chicken I've ever eaten"; "tomatoes so fresh and tomato-y that they taste like a pure idea of tomato, not the thing itself"; "delish corn"; "a peach poached, perfumed so beautifully it seems to be solid, liquid, gas at once." After I paid, I took the train back to Manhattan. I was still wearing Barber's clothes and was now filled with his food. I'm not sure I was "impregnated with nutrient density...
