...black women haven’t been present and active the entire time. Contrary to widely held opinion, black women have made huge contributions to American history that go well beyond simply giving birth to and supporting black men. Women such as Ida B.

TWENTY THOUSAND STREETS UNDER THE SKY BBC AMERICA, FEB. 11 AND 12, 8 P.M. E.T. This wistful mini-series, based on a 1935 Patrick Hamilton novel, is less love triangle than unrequited love triangle.

Streets is a keen-eyed, elegantly acted noir drama of heartbreak in alleys and darkened movie houses...

Susan Graham singing as the Composer from Ariadne and Placido singing Otello - he was the greatest Otello for 30 years. Luciano, too, was so perfect in every way. I think of him as Ella Fitzgerald, and Placido as Sarah Vaughan. Luciano - classical, crystal, timeless perfection. Placido - more baroque, a little bit twisted, crazy and sexy. For my own singing, I used to be attracted by the baroque, the flashier the better, but now I prefer a simpler, purer style. New York city-based chef Daniel...
