...sound. Then, suddenly piercing them with a barrage of sharp notes, he dashes off a few steeply ascending riffs, bending his notes until they cry and yowl. Throughout the album, on solo after solo (Strange Fruit, In My Solitude), Blanchard's compact, mournful-sounding melodies evoke the desperation and broken dreams that tortured Holiday, who died at 44 in 1959 of drugs and drink...
...Tutsi and one-sided. More than 99% of Hutu are also against the ethnic killing of the Tutsi. The disaffected members of society, organized into street gangs, are the ones killing -- and not only Tutsi but also Hutu. You hint that both ethnic groups (not tribes) have broken promises. If you look at history, it is obvious that Tutsi have killed more often, targeting educated Hutu, than Hutu have ever done until now. Under President Juvenal Habyarimana, both Hutu and Tutsi were learning to live together...
...anxiety dreams are that I walk out and there's no audience or that I've broken a $250,000 television camera. Your anxiety dreams are just replaced by new anxiety dreams.

(Colorado first baseman Andres Galarraga also bettered that mark, with 30 April RBIs.) Carter's 31 ribbies were one more than Barry Bonds, David Justice, Mark Grace, Andy Van Slyke and Howard Johnson had -- combined -- for the month...
...Broken Glass revisits familiar Miller terrain. The era is the Depression, the battleground is a Jewish family, the ugly rumbling offstage is the rise of Adolf Hitler. The mainspring of the play is the paralysis that Sylvia Gellburg suffers in her legs, which has no apparent physical cause. Is it a result of her sexless and bitter marriage? Is it linked to the futile assimilationism of her Jew-among-Wasps banker husband? Is it somehow tied to her Cassandra-like obsession with Hitler's assault on German Jews, a threat in which no one around her sees urgency...
