Nothing is more basic than a loaf of bread--it's the staff of life, remember? But the loaves in Glezer's book, photographed by Ben Fink, twist and turn and glow and dazzle. Glezer, a baker certified by the American Institute of Baking, unravels the mysteries of sourdough, composes a Finnish rye bread and deconstructs baguettes. Her comforting tone will soothe even the nervous novice: "It's only flour and water and time," she insists. But a look through these pages shows that when Glezer bakes, it's actually high art.

...Submarine submerges, dives deep into those secret spots behind your consciousness that only glow with the lights out. In their debut album Skin Diving, south London trio Al Boyd, Richard Jeffrey and Adaesi Ukairo have oozed out a unique and seductive blend of electronic pulse.

The computer factors in poll numbers, historic Democratic performance, dates of and voter response to previous visits by the candidate, his running mate, family members or other surrogates. It highlights places that may respond to a sudden infusion of ad money or to "free media" generated...
...life as a romantic matter--just as Gatsby did, and America always does. I don't recall a single basketball game I ever played in as a kid. What I do remember is the romantic matter: Saturday-morning practices; walking, loping four blocks to the school gym; the sun glow on the court, shot through the wire-mesh-covered windows; lifting the ball from the rack; the sleepy-eyed dreams; ball echoes on wood; body rises; arc of flight; endless flight...
