DIED. C. VANN WOODWARD, 91, Pulitzer-prizewinning historian and perceptive chronicler of the post-Civil War South; in Hamden, Conn. He was perhaps best known for The Strange Career of Jim Crow (1955), which argued that segregation in the South was a fairly recent phenomenon and thus could be undone...
Drawn largely from files obtained from the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act, The Messenger contains new revelations about the transformation of Elijah Poole, a semiliterate refugee from the Jim Crow South, into the self-styled Messenger of Allah who preached that whites were "blue-eyed devils."

But what in God's name does Tomorrow Never Dies mean? And that cacophony by Sheryl Crow? And to prove that it wasn't a fluke, now we get The World is Not Enough (it sounds like a Danielle Steel novel) with a boring title track by Garbage. Bring back Octopussy...Michael Mann is one of the finest directors around. He's particularly intriguing because he makes testosterone flicks that somehow play better...
