...credited it to Batt/Cage - a cheeky reference to the late avant-garde composer, right, John Cage's famous, silent work of 1952, 4' 33". Cage's publisher, Peters Edition, got the joke but filed for a share of the copyright dues anyway. While Batt was still "in hysterics", his label, EMI, had already coughed up a first installment of €460 to them. Batt wants it back, denies any intellectual infringement and says, "I'm not backing down and neither are they." The rare good humor of the spat - consecutive perfomances of both "silences" were staged last week in London...
Critics routinely assail these programs not only for draining schools’ resources, but more importantly, for perpetuating an arrogant culture of elitism that harms the community and the children on both sides of the “gifted” label. But is segregating gifted children as bad an idea as these critics claim it is? My experience, both in school and this summer with TIP, suggests just the opposite. Gifted programs are crucial in the proper academic and social development of talented children...
...views mental illness as a metaphor for disturbing and disruptive behaviors, which he says arise from our circumstances and personality--and from our own choices.

Sandwiched between the classic old guard and flashy new are the middle-aged guard, who first made their mark in the 1980s. Christian Lacroix, recently named designer of the Pucci label, showed a collection brimming with confidence. Feathers, sequins, fur, leather - as one fashion editor said, it was "like the model walked through the studio and everything stuck to her." But there was discipline to the decoration, and the result was a show to out-haute the best of them. Like...
...revolver, an old fashioned six shooter, it nonetheless claims the lead on the top ten list. That's because there are literally millions in existence; Smith and Wesson introduced the .38 in 1899, and since then, models have proliferated, transforming the name "Smith and Wesson .38" into a generic label for a particular style of gun, even clones that aren't made by Smith and Wesson. Similarly, the Smith and Wesson .357 revolver, which was introduced in 1935, and the venerable Mossberg shotgun made the list based on the sheer volume in circulation...
