...abbreviation to say, since it sounds like Seedy Petey). Unfortunately, Seedy Petey is not my favorite service to use. You can get it in most metropolitan areas from cellular carriers such as AT&T. But, unlike cellular-phone service, which is billed by the minute, you pay by the bit: it costs around $15 a month to send 500 MB of data; unlimited service is available for $54 a month. That would be reasonable if it always worked. But it doesn't, at least under the harsh conditions of my commute...
...newspaper Ochs already owned, in Chattanooga, Tenn., was almost underwater, and his personal debts were threatening to sink him and the large extended family he supported. His plan was to save the paper and himself by breaking into the big city market. With brilliant personal salesmanship and no little bit of financial finagling, he finally won the backing he needed. On Aug. 19, 1896, he announced on the front page of his newly acquired newspaper that his "earnest aim was to give the news impartially, without fear or favor...
...took her first trip abroad, and her exposure to new people and places forever changed the way she viewed the world. This summer she decided to give her granddaughter Sylviane, 16, the same experience.

Kristin Chenoweth, a Tony winner for last season's revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, is cute, if a bit overcooked, as the Kewpie-doll A.D. But the jokes are bad, the physical comedy repetitious, and the Hollywood satire 40 years outdated. Co-author Crane was one of the creators of Friends. If this is what TV people think Broadway needs, the theater is in more trouble than we imagined...
Country music is lonely work. A man stares out his pickup window and wonders how love could abandon him with such ease and finality. So Prine, who knows a bit about hurt--he has recently survived cancer of the neck--has called on a few good women (including Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams) to join him in no-frills, no-foolin' duets on 15 country chestnuts. The one new song is Prine's own title tune, a funny, grimy anthem for two misfits who suit each other fine. It says even driving himself to hell, he ought...
