...video must have struck a chord because the judges picked her out of the pool of 5,000 applications. Now she gets to spend her days filming “interactive” clues. The job has already taken her from Southern California to Northern California (and New York and New Orleans). The quartet’s planned trip to Europe was cancelled, but they have some other domestic trips lined...
When Zeke first raised the issue to the headmaster, even though he took the allegations seriously, it did strike a political chord, says Karen Schwartzman, who handles public relations for the Groton School. It seemed like a political endeavor and the headmaster had to overcome that.

An acoustic guitar goes Latino in a minor key, and King sings gently: "Sweeter than wine/ Softer than the summer night..." Then the melody returns to its dominant chord, backing singers join in for an open-throated "Aaaah" and King declares: "Everything I want I have/ Whenever I hold you tight." Four lines that express gentle love, consuming love...
