...alerts you to a bona fide Television Event on Friday night, 8:00 EST. Business channel CNBC -- home of the streaming ticker, during-the-break Dow updates, and Maria "The Money Honey" Bartiromo -- wades into movie waters with the excellent HBO-produced Barbarians at the Gate (1993). With recent revelations about the birth of Joe Camel, the broadcast of this savvy comedy of business manners, about the takeover of RJR Nabisco, is fortuitously timed. You get Jim Garner and Jonathan Pryce (not to mention Fred Thompson). You laugh. You learn a little something. Sure, you can rent...
...lined up outside stores all over the nation in late November for Sevens, Garth Brooks' first CD in two years. Then they took it home and heard a swell set of 14 tunes from the sweetly pudge-faced Oklahoman who has sold 62 million albums--country music's one bona fide superstar.

Like a lonesome cowpoke in some nasal old lament, it feels the redneck blues...

A true writer, Hartley experiences life only to later describe it to friends. He eroticizes New York and almost everything in it, and his humor is his best survival tactic. Hartley is a self-described happy person--"drunk on city life, glad for its free tickets...
With Harvard blossoming into a bona fide Ivy League contender, Menick single-handedly demolished Holy Cross. In a game that turned into an offensive showcase, Menick was the feature attraction. He ran the ball 34 times for a whopping 261 yards, an output second in Harvard history only to the 323 yards Matt Johnson '92 gained against Brown in 1991. On one Crimson drive, Murphy gave the ball to Menick on all but one play until he reached the end zone for one of his three touchdowns on the day. Harvard easily won that game...
With such stoicism, one may easily mistake Stereolab for an opening band. Their static stage manners coupled with the relatively sober crowd give no hint to their brilliance. Upon closer inspection, the crowd was awaiting the evening's top bill not with indifference, but bona fide reverence--creening to absorb the group's trademark sound of hypnotic rhythmic tracks overlaid with melodic, mesmerizing vocals...
