This new-old sound gooses the upbeat moments and adds wallop to the ragers, especially the jump-starter "Youth Decay," but doesn't realize the potential of the moodier material. Nothing here's as evocative as The Hot Rock's "The Size of Our Love." And Tucker and fellow singer/guitarist Carrie Brownstein focus on the usual topics in their direct lyrics: relationships and the rock scene. The real interest here comes from the riff-driven, mood-shifting songs, Tucker's delivery (everything from talk-singing to moaning, not to mention singing) and, most of all, the casual, gripping mesh...
Still, depression is slightly harder to diagnose in adolescents than in adults, and not because teens are expected to be moodier and more withdrawn. They are less likely to realize that they are depressed and thus less likely to seek help. "Younger kids also have more difficulty expressing their feelings in words," says Dr. Boris Birmaher, a child psychiatrist at the University of Pittsburgh. "When kids become depressed, they become irritable, act out, have temper tantrums and other behavioral problems.

...nostalgic mood yet? If the opening of ABC's Homefront doesn't get you, try CBS's Brooklyn Bridge, a fond look back at growing up in Brooklyn circa 1956. NBC's I'll Fly Away, meanwhile, paints a moodier watercolor of life in a Southern town in the late '50s, just as the civil rights movement was gathering steam. In a medium that is usually more comfortable with the here and now, the timely issue and the hip wisecrack, three of the most ambitious shows of the new season are harking back to the past...
Prestwick is moodier still, especially without caddies. This is the original Open course, drafted for the first twelve championships, not re-elected since 1872. But for occasionally happening on a green, one would never suspect Prestwick was a golf course. It looks like the Ponderosa. A par-four hole is overdriven from the tee, while a par-three one is unreachable from anywhere. Most of the holes are par fives. The sole compensation for being lost and confused all day is a blind 3-iron shot at the 201-yd. fifth hole, aimed high over a scrubby embankment but pushed...
...every picture was a careful symmetry of light and dark. "The negative is the score," he said. "The print is the performance." By the mid-'60s, Adams had virtually ceased taking photographs for public consumption, concentrating instead on making prints of earlier works (the performance grew darker and moodier) and updating his 40 books on photography...
