...wasn't enough for Geoffrey C. Upton to complain about Boston's "White" station, Kiss 108; now we have Jal D. Mehta spouting about Boston's "black" station, Jam'n 94.5 (Opinion, Jan. 25). Both writers seem to agree that each of these stations represents a lack of "integration" in Boston's radio market that reflects a corresponding lack of integration in Boston's social world...
...have been listening to a wide variety of Boston radio stations for nearly four years now--and working at one, Harvard's own WHRB 95.3 FM--and I have to say that if the only stations that your writers listen to are Jam'n 94.5 and Kiss 108, then they probably don't have a clue about the Boston radio scene. Upton is mad that Kiss 108 doesn't play enough "black" music; Mehta cries that Jam'n isn't serving as the "sounding board for black concerns to suburban white listeners" that it would be, while WILD (which...
Actresses with a wide range like Polley's thrive at Sundance because many movies there take risks with compelling, quirky characters. Where Hollywood favors vapid females whose greatest apotheosis is a kiss, indies prefer complex women who can also kick butt.

Rick Nerland, an advertising executive who served as the Anchorage bid's executive vice president, said last week that he was approached twice by agents who asked up to $30,000 for a bloc of I.O.C. votes. "I was disappointed that the person was intimating that that went on," he said. "We dismissed it on the spot." Also resistant were officials from Toronto and Amsterdam, who reported similar shakedowns in the 1980s...
...hard to get excited about the latest Barbie disc or Wheel of Fortune for the PC. But last week, after I checked out Encarta Africana, a two-disc, multimedia reference work by Microsoft on the history and culture of Africa and people of African descent, I wanted to kiss the FedEx guy. This remarkable new work blends old-fashioned scholarship and storytelling with color videos and stereo sound to bring its subject alive, starting with a video lecture by poet Maya Angelou, who notes that "it takes more than a horrifying transatlantic voyage chained in the filthy hold...
