...That news should be of interest only to accountants. So how's the movie? Mostly frabjous. The visual palette is more artfully riotous than that of other Alice films, the performances more zestful. The walls of the hole that Alice (Mia Wasikowska) falls into are stocked with all manner of the White Rabbit's mementos; this could be WALL•E's cluttered annex. Alice meets flowers with faces and cruel tongues, frogs that serve as insecure butlers to Iracebeth the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) and a more voluptuous picturization of Wonderland - here it's called Underland - than even...

A chunk of sea ice approximately the size of Luxembourg was gouged out. Owing in part to warming global temperatures, Antarctica is losing ice all the time--about 24 cu. mi. (100 cu km) worth each year--a development that is slowly...
...work sang but was unsung. That's what friends and avid readers said about Barry Hannah, the Southern writer who died at age 67 on March 1. Many of his greatest admirers were writers themselves. In 2000, when news spread that Barry had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, more than 50 young writers staged a banquet to honor him. They came from Montana and New York and Florida to be with the author of Airships and High Lonesome for one evening and let him know how much he meant to them...
