...words that appear on the cover of the band's first album. It was originally recorded as a demo on a two track in his basement. "My dad probably has it now," says Duritz. The song was actually supposed to appear on Recovering the Satellites as a ghost track, showing up unannounced at the end of the album. The album turned out to be too long, however, and so "August and Everything After" was pulled. Asked if the song would ever appear on record shelves, Duritz responds that he is not sure. The song is legendary among fans...
...another dysfunctional-family Thanksgiving drama, this time with a little incest and crises of identity thrown in.

The result of Rampersad's research may strike some readers as unduly dry and academic. The prose sometimes seems stiff: "He thought of himself and his future in terms of moral and social obligations rather than...
Last Sunday, the New York Times published a report detailing the progress of President Reagan's Alzheimer's disease. At age 86, Reagan has become ghost-like. He speaks infrequently, uttering only short phrases. He nods back to passers-by, not knowing why they nodded to him in the first place. He plays golf, but cannot complete all 18 holes. He can still dress and feed himself, but sometimes wakes up at 2 a.m. looking for breakfast...
