Savage Grace, a deadpan chronicle of this cesspool of a household, is presented as a collage of documents and reminiscences, in the manner of the 1982 best seller Edie, another glimpse of self-destruction among the elite. The m??lange is repetitive yet oddly incomplete, particularly about the family's finances. The absence of a sustained narrative and the mixed-up chronology demand a slow, close reading. There is no attempt at redeeming social importance, and one wonders why Brooks Baekeland and other central characters allowed such an invasion of privacy. Still, the story is evoked with arresting detail...
...theory that they are "distinctly operatic." His basic argument is that Mozart's Marriage of Figaro expresses the Enlightenment's belief in reason and reconciliation, that Rossini's Barber of Seville reflects the post-Napoleonic withdrawal from emotional involvement, and that Schubert's Winterreise and Schöne M??llerin represent the Romantics' concentration on the individual and his relationship to nature. Similarly, he asserts that Berlioz's Trojans dramatizes the 19th century's obsession with history, that Verdi's Don Carlo portrays the conflict between liberalism and realpolitik, that Wagner's Meistersinger illustrates the aesthetic movement's beliefs about...

Full of antioxidants, vitamin A, calcium and potassium, and with a buttery texture, the sweet, nutty green has been cultivated for centuries in Europe but wasn't widely available commercially in the U.S. When Koons' Epic Roots shipped its first field-grown m??che in 2002, the bags could be found in fewer than 100 stores; now more than 3,000 stores carry them. And last year Burger King added m??che to its mixed salads, moving the greens that much closer to the mainstream...
...that 15 years after his last hit, Billy Idol is back on the scene? Credit the booming music nostalgia market, which has stirred up enough interest in the '80s to entice Morrissey, New Order, Duran Duran, M??tley Crüe and others back into recording studios. But while those acts made their previous albums within the Napster era and had modest expectations for their comebacks, Idol, 49, has been inactive since 1993's disastrous Cyberpunk and believes that his new collection, Devil's Playground, out March 22, may restore his former glory. "I'm not a retro act," Idol says...
