...track features only Marling’s vocals and guitar, and because of its spare quality, her gorgeous voice and poignant storytelling are able to stand out. The song testifies to Marling’s ability to tell tales well beyond the scope of the average 20-year-old, convincingly recounting the experience of a woman who “found a babe atop a log and all alone / Took him under, took him on.” “Made By Maid” provides a calming respite from the grandeur of the more intense numbers, and impresses...
...protagonist of “The Secret of Kells” is Brendan, a charming 12-year-old red-headed boy. The film follows Brendan’s journey as he tries to understand what is important, decides who to obey and disobey, and courageously searches for his own path.

But Brendan soon meets Aidan, an abbot who believes in finishing and preserving a sacred manuscript. This manuscript...

And when you lose that, you lose the foods that go with it, like the old standards of roast beef and twice-baked potatoes and lobsters served with melted butter and a nutcracker. Globalists and gastronomes may be heartened at the thought of a universal fusion cuisine or a thousand ethnic nooks and crannies in the national muffin. But it depresses me to think...
