...researched biography Spike Jones: The Man Who Murdered Music (Past Times Publishing; 00 pages; $0.00) is making its own noise in book stores. Rhino Records has issued The Spike Jones Anthology, a handsome, 40- song dose of the band's top tunes, including the chirping, barking, cackling Love in Bloom and the magnificent Hawaiian War Chant, which climaxes with a wail of electric-guitar dissonance that predates Jimi Hendrix by 20 years. A quirkier collection -- Spiked!, on Catalyst -- has some prime oddities, notably a suave, six-part ribbing of The Nutcracker Suite (1945), which must count...
...inform, the political and intellectual ideologues who reduce philosophy and art to pseudoscientific theory -- were written over the past three decades and are too separated by time and subject to provide a coherent analysis. For that the reader should turn to The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom, Bellow's late friend and colleague at the University of Chicago.

But you will see Daniel Day-Lewis play English goons, Irish louts and American woodsmen. In 1986, in the early bloom of his career, his first two major English movies opened back to back in the U.S. He was a purring snob in A Room with a View, an ex-fascist gay punk in My Beautiful Laundrette. Just like that, a chameleonic star was born...
...this night, of early spring, When flowers bloom and children sing, A festival starts of heav'nly power, Pitting the ant with the mighty tower. For tonight, in the third month of all, Begins a tournament of basketball...
