...Saturday night, Sanders Theatre featured a wonderful juxtaposition of the musical old and new. At 8:05 p.m., the theatre was filled, not with students, but with smiling and relaxed adults who came of age in the late 1970s. There was quite a bit of grey hair, a few leather jackets, and plenty of love and peace.All were gathered together to take a fresh look at Rickie Lee Jones, a once-prominent singer-songwriter who is making a comeback with the release of her new album, “The Sermon on Exposition Blvd.” Jones first became...

The burly Laine, who said he liked to use his voice "like a horn," sold more than 100 million records and drew new fans in the early '60s for singing the theme to TV's Rawhide...
...German horse sausage. Not only are they supposed to be great, but it would have allowed me to say horse salami and horse sausage throughout this article. But she did pick up half a pound of salted, cured meat. On the FedEx form, she called the shipment a "leather art project," which seemed about right. Still, Homeland Security must have been wary of our ploy, since the package arrived with a big green sticker reading EXAMINED BY U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION but was otherwise untouched. American shores, you should know, are not safe from rogue cold cuts...
