...snaps it up. As a result, they make music that's informed and intelligent, yet independent and fresh. That's Will Owsley, recommended by his history and spirit and supported by a very strong debut album of 11 rock gems. "Oh No the Radio" and "Coming Up Roses" are brief highlights of surprising vocal sinuations. "I'm Alright" could become an anthem of self-assertion. "Uncle John's Farm" is about as enjoyably pastoral as urban rock gets. The songs here don't address urgent issues or bleed hearts and even have a tendency to sound like one another...
...Antonio and Bassiano, played by Joe Nuccio '00 and Jay Chaffin '01. They are portrayed as unheroically as possible. Simpering and effeminate, Antonio hides himself behind the props of gloves and an ornate, scepter-like stick.

...symposium about it. Educators, cops, Hollywood executives and gun-lobbyists alike, from Gloria Estefan to the CEO of Smith & Wesson, were all there Monday, and Clinton isn't pointing fingers at any of them. "We are not here to place blame, but to shoulder responsibility," he said in a brief statement before the gab-fest was closed to the media. He's got a better idea, a way to get to the head of the class on Littleton without upsetting anyone who can make him regret it. He's declaring youth violence a disease...
