Drum starts; Katryna Nields strikes an akimbo pose in mid-jumping jack. She is beautiful. Her band, the Nields, something that just graduated from Yale, giddily rocks Sanders Theatre: thirty-and-up Cantabridgians stand to applaud. Where is Joan Baez, who came to Club Passim barefoot and left a star? She played last. And reuniting earlier in the show with their banjos and mandolins were the Charles River Valley Boys, Harvard alumni from the 60's. At its 40th Anniversary Concert, Club Passim looked back, looked forward, and its music squirmed between the weight of history and the multiple identities...
...threw an anniversary party that was both accessible--it was like going to church after a two year hiatus--and sometimes experimental. Sanders Theatre sold out to an audience that erred on the side of grown-up but was livelier for it. We all clapped to the beat as Joan Baez jigged and the Charles River Valley Boys covered the Beatles. The program became a kind of historiographic French smoke where the congregation pulled old records from the cabinet.

...like worm-eating contests and the world's largest tumor, and his upcoming Fox special World's Most Shocking Medical Videos has footage of a woman's nose being regrown on her forehead. Schotz also makes the more wholesome Kids Say the Darndest Things and Behind Closed Doors with Joan Lunden. Lachman, who not long ago was known for creating Solid Gold and for winning an Emmy for his coverage of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, is now branded with credits like Fox's When Animals Attack and its upcoming The World's Most Shocking Moments 2: Caught on Tape...

Meanwhile GEENA DAVIS, who will host the pre-show, has promised not to ask arrivals about their outfits, which may leave little to talk about. "Maybe she'll ask them about algebra," muses JOAN RIVERS, who has traditionally owned that piece of airtime on the E! channel and will broadcast this year until she's cut off. "She shouldn't ask about fashion," Rivers continues. "She's a lovely girl, but this is a person who wears pirate outfits...
This may be one of the most frustrating alcoholism memoirs ever written. We hear plenty about the author's fabulous family and friends: Brooke Hayward and Peter Duchin, Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne. The author gushes forth details of her spiked morning coffees, the countless martinis and cases of champagne, and the out-of-control life all the drinking engendered. We even hear about her father's A.A. meetings (Dad is John, for those who have somehow missed all previous Cheeverabilia). But she slides right over what it feels like to give up drinking. Did she have the help...
