...been in line for an admiral's gold braid--is the third Navy captain in recent months to have his promotion derailed by charges of sexual chicanery: Captain Mark Rogers was dropped from the promotion list last April for using degrading sexual language, and Captain Thomas J.

For another, Greene, 47, was the Navy's top equal-opportunity officer, responsible for, among others, ridding the Navy of the abuses he is accused of committing...

To Jacky Terrasson, a fast-rising young pianist who made his Vanguard debut three years ago, what's important is "the vibes-all your heroes have been there before, and you get this incredible energy." Not even a jazz immortal like Sonny Rollins is immune to the aura. "You feel the history...
...social tract, however, can also be a movie. Ladybird, Ladybird is a good one--more painful to watch than any slasher film, because its emotional violence literally hits home.
