...Shooting Star The untimely death of Heath Ledger brings much sadness to those who knew and loved him, not to mention those of us who simply knew him from his movies [Feb. 4]. He had so much more to offer. I will remember him best for his poignant portrayal of Ennis Del Mar, one of the gay cowboys in Brokeback Mountain. Ledger showed great sensitivity and understanding in conveying all the joy and pain his character experienced. That is the measure of a great actor. For that, Ledger will be truly missed.

...force is Barack Obama. His sweep of the Potomac Primaries in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., on Tuesday gives him seven straight wins since Super Tuesday, not to mention his first lead in pledged delegates.

Not to mention the miles in the SUV to get everyone there. Ski resorts by their very nature have a pretty big carbon footprint. They are also an industry that takes a direct hit from global warming. According to the Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research, based in Davos, rising temperatures are leading...
...simply “unoriginal” is not always clear. Fortunately, new record “It Is Time for a Love Revolution” evokes no such ambiguity. Despite his progressive album title, Kravitz proves that he is one of the most blatantly derivative, not to mention boring, artists recording today. Take, for example, lead single “I’ll Be Waiting,” in which Kravitz sings while playing the same three piano chords over and over. The verses are sappy, uninspiring, and sure to appear on many 14-year-old girls?...
