...child. By then Peter and James had dozed off, but John--being younger--managed to stay half awake through most of the prayer. He could hardly see Jesus, just flashes of his face when the moon broke clear, and then it was wrenched by an agony greater than the joy they'd seen when he came down toward them on Mount Hermon after his meeting with Moses and Elijah...
Gates presents himself as a lovable, nerdy, self-made billionaire, but consider the facts. Having bludgeoned the companies that threatened him, Gates now poses as a man whose only joy is promoting innovation and competition. If his practices aren't monopolistic, then John D.

...long-term fixture in a CD-changer. It's the most straightforward (and final) track, in fact, that will probably become Midnite Vulture's best-remembered track.

...performance. Sure, it doesn't take a genius to enjoy the show. It takes, rather, a genius--or in this case two geniuses--to turn the simplicity of sound and dance into a spectacular evening of entertainment. In 1991, creators Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas realized the simple joy that a four-year-old can take in banging pots, and brought that happiness to a universal audience. Everyone loves rhythm and motion, though they may not readily admit...
