...being shipped off to Spain to stand trial on charges of torture and mass murder. The families of his thousands of victims are rightly cheering, and human-rights activists are delighted that the world may no longer be safe for retired tyrants. But officials in perfectly upstanding governments note that nowhere in the rules now coming into play is it written that they can be applied only to dictators. Henry Kissinger has enemies out there, and so does Margaret Thatcher...
...pleased to note that TIME won seven awards, the only ones given to newsmagazines, at the New York Association of Black Journalists' annual dinner last week. Christopher John Farley and James Willwerth's report "Dead Teen Walking," the story of a young man who may have been wrongly convicted of murder, won both the Griot (the top award of the evening) and the Public Affairs award. Other TIME winners were stories on Aretha Franklin by Farley, Toni Morrison by Paul Gray, Michael Jordan by Joel Stein, "Kids and Race" by Farley and "Africa Rising" by Johanna McGeary and Marguerite Michaels...

Lasseter's tale of greedy grasshoppers and anxious ants broke the Thanksgiving holiday box-office records with $45.7 million in ticket sales and slaughtered its main competitor, Babe: Pig in the City.

His recent albums on Blue Note have been critically acclaimed, but to this listener often sounded dry and analytic. Not this time. Captured with a MiniDisk recorder plunked on a table at an unnamed New York City nightclub, this is an unusually live "live" album. Playing tunes by Ellington, Monk and Parker as well as an original, Osby and his quartet push and probe but are also unafraid to play pretty. So why aren't all albums...
