...Schellenberger, too, was poised throughout the program—and entirely in harmony with Lipkind. Her masterful arpeggiated chords in “Sonata for Violin and Piano in A Major (1886)” by Franck would put any other pianist in awe of her abilities. The light treble notes that introduced Debussy’s “Sonata for Cello and Piano (1915)” and the articulated, precisely abrupt rests of Anton Webern’s “Drei Kleine Stücke, Op. 11 (1914)” showed she was at home...

The past weeks alone have produced a parade of revelations: leftover questions about Vice President Dick Cheney's role...
...Some on the right have been keeping a light in the window for the last conservative to have led a revolution. Newt Gingrich recently confessed his past marital infidelity on the Christian radio show of James Dobson, admitting he was carrying on with the House aide who became his third wife even as he was lambasting Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. In the upside-down leap of reasoning that this campaign season has wrought in the movement, hanging his dirty sheets from the window was enough to convince everyone that Gingrich is running - and landed him an invitation...
