...more positive side, ethnic communities are introducing other Americans to the notion that babies need not subsist on pabulum. South Asian parents offer curries in small doses at young ages. Hispanic parents give their babies tortillas and other ethnic dishes. "There is no good reason to feed babies bland food," says Nancy Butte, a professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. "It's culturally determined, not scientifically based...
...divorce after four years of marriage between an older man and a younger woman isn't usually headline material. But the split between Sir Paul McCartney, 20th century cultural icon, and Heather Mills, former model and campaigner against landmines and fur, is another matter entirely.

...likes of “When You Wasn’t Famous,” which rolls cleverly over a well-executed, lively marching beat. Mixed in with the voice-over jokes and mysterious, yet certainly lewd, British slang, the slower, sometimes sappy songs are at once a bit bland and a welcome respite.
