Cheryl is not to be confused with Martha. She will not tie ribbons around 300-thread-count linens that someone else irons. (Mendelson says percale is fine and folding will do.) She will never crow over serving eggs laid by her own Araucana hens. Cheryl does not substitute crafts for life, and she has help only once a month or so. In her cozy Manhattan apartment, bikes are parked in the dining room, and the fridge door is a mess of notes, schedules and magnets. "Who can feel at home in a place where the demands for order are exaggerated...
...uplifting “Song for a Hollywood Road Movie” is title appropriately—a bluesy, evocative song that sounds conjures the best bits of introspective Sheryl Crow. The glowering “Gucci” pays homage to the ominous blues of triphop, while “Getting Out of It” is a jazzy torch song for anyone on the run from a relationship. “Sunday Kickaround” celebrates the relief of a pickup football game as a respite from the demands of life, conveyed through edgy Eastern-flecked music which...
...LeAnn Rimes' Blue. Thomson's discovery was a little bit country: she left dog Charlie behind to go to Nashville, and her parents sold the car to pay her way.

But when she plaintively says, "I was so hungry to make it" in Nashville--well, the girl can sell them peaches...
...year-old African-American who happens to prefer Agatha Christie to street fighting. Every summer Edward Massey?s working-class parents, fiercely protective, hustle him out of town and down to Rehoboth Beach, where his Aunt Edna runs a thriving restaurant/boardinghouse. Well, not Rehoboth Beach exactly, Jim Crow being what it was back then, but rather West Rehoboth, that ?coloreds only? country on the other side of the canal...What Pate, writing from the heart makes particularly vivid is the way endemic, inescapable racism suffocates and ruins...
...immediately following the rape charge, most news outlets didn't report the race of the accused. Some Western journalists did, but they didn't note that the accuser was almost certainly a kokujo and that the nightclub culture around the Okinawa bases is almost as segregated as the Jim Crow South. When off duty, most military personnel tend to congregate according to race. The clubs that black servicemen frequent are also kokujo haunts. Of course, for a kokujo to say she was there to meet a man is not proof of consent. In the U.S. today, a woman's lifestyle...
