...Over lunch in decidedly uncountry Santa Monica, Calif., where they have lived part time while recording Long Way, the Dixie Chicks--in fancy jeans, tank tops and designer sunglasses--seem less like provocateurs than busy moms (they have seven kids in all, ages 1 to 5) amped up by a little free time. In conversation they are loud and unembarrassable, celebrating their lack of boundaries in that escalating, I-can-be-more-blunt-than-you way unique to sisters (which Maguire and Robison are) and women who have shared a tour-bus bathroom.

The films then were part of a comprehensive Riviera experience: visiting the medieval town of St. Paul de Vence, seeing the Miro and Matisse works at the Maeght Museum, roller-coastering on Provence's precarious cornices. No time for that any more. Our schedules are busier than a big city mayor's. We are slaves...
Citizens and councillors spoke up at Monday’s City Council meeting against a decision by Cambridge’s City Manager to reduce Friday hours and lunch service at the Cambridge Senior Center. At one point, Kathy Podgers, a meeting regular, disrupted the testimony of Assistant City Manager for Human Services Ellen M. Semanoff, who was defending the decision, prompting Mayor Kenneth E.
