Mary Lou Lord says she's finally letting go of the apron strings. Her first full-length album, set to hit stores in late January, will feature a greater proportion of the folksy-yet-punky original material that has become a fixture at the subway stations where she plays. After nine years of playing covers of other indie bands in prime commuter locations across Boston, the city's underground songstress is thrilled that she's finally getting the financial backup to explore her creativity in the studio. It feels good to know that others believe...
...last two songs on the album, which returned to the acoustic route. Her versions of Pete Droge's "Sunspot Stopwatch" and Peter Laughner's "Cinderella Backstreet," she laments, were "done a long time ago" and therefore "rough around the edges."

And with Louise reportedly set to reap a possible $100,000 for selling her story to a British magazine when she eventually returns home, the court of public opinion is sure to remain in session...
...commentary on religious issues past and present. No theologian by his own admission, Buckley has relied on others to do that heavy hitting. He submitted questions about the ordination of women, for example, to a "forum" of four Catholic converts, two of them priests, and prints their answers at length. On a more theoretical problem--how hell and eternal punishment are compatible with God's mercy--he cribs copiously from Difficulties (1934), an exchange of letters between Sir Arnold Lunn and Father Ronald Knox. Lunn, who invented skiing's slalom, was then an agnostic--he later converted--and Knox...
