...this country, we still have doors people can take advantage of even if they don't have high grades." Families struggling with less than stellar report cards may take comfort in the knowledge that straight A's are often looked on as potentially problematic. A flawless record can be a sign that classes are not challenging or that adults are putting excessive pressure on a child to perform well. "You should be able to make mistakes," says Devlin. "The student who gets all A's is following the rules, doing what he's told, filling in the blanks. Sometimes...
Moore's first career goal was a thing of beauty, setting the stage for the Crimson's 7-2 domination over Dartmouth. Moore undressed the Big Green's defenseman Carl Desjardins, leaving Eric Almon unprotected between the pipes. A flawless back-hander caught Almon looking at Moore lit the lamp...

That internationalism pervades into the album, which layers African singing over jazz- and Latin-influenced four-four house beats, throwing in a touch of disco along the way.

Imperfections in other portions of the production (the slightly-too-unprofessional set, for instance) melt away in the glow of Metson...
...McCourt's ear for dialect is so flawless that I didn't notice he was reading from his second book. His talent first appeared in Angela's Ashes, the hugely successful childhood memoir that won a Pulitzer Prize. 'Tis is the sequel to that story, beginning with McCourt's journey to America on the MS Irish Oak in 1949, and ending in Belfast, 1985. In between, we experience first-hand the trials and triumphs of an American immigrant, from his days sweeping the lobby of the Biltmore hotel to striding down the halls of Stuyvesant as a respected teacher...
