...Pulitzer Prize in 1945, and the 23-year-old, who'd grown up poor in the Southwest, found himself an uncomfortable celebrity. "If I see a stuffed shirt," he once remarked, "I want to punch it." Mauldin won his second Pulitzer for a cartoon in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1959, after the Soviets imprisoned writer Boris Pasternak; it shows one prisoner in ball and chain saying to another, "I won the Nobel Prize for Literature. What was your crime?" Mauldin moved to the Chicago Sun-Times in 1962 and stayed there 30 years. Skillful as he was with...
After six years performing with Dispatch, Pete Francis, who performs as Pete Heimbold with Dispatch, released a solo album in March 2002. However, Francis has not entirely deserted the hybrid style of Dispatch. As the Kazaa categories and reviews attest, Francis’ album So They Say includes elements of jazz, reggae, rock and folk.

Tremendous progress has been made, and a concert at that venue is on the horizon...
...Leaves. The swank Tokyo nightclub's spacious dance floor?a sheet of glass that floats above an immaculate Zen rock garden?is strewn with the bodies of dismembered yak-uza. A willowy blonde with wild eyes, clad in a blood-smeared yellow tracksuit, brandishes her Samurai sword, preparing to dispatch three more victims. She grits her teeth. The yakuza scowl back. As sword meets flesh and the three villains slam backwards through a wooden lattice, the mastermind behind the mayhem can't suppress a smile. "Pow!" exults an elated Quentin Tarantino, bounding from his perch beside the camera to congratulate...
