Seamus Heaney--with whom future students will wish to converse after he too achieves the celestial pantheon--said something in support of this retrograde activity recently. Referring to elegies he had written to the poets Joseph Brodsky and Ted Hughes, he remarked, "At a certain age, the light that you live with is inhabited by shades... The death of people doesn't banish them out of your consciousness...
...From Paris to Greenwich Village to mod London, Southern befriended some of the greatest writers, artists, and musicians of the day, spending hours sharing their pet indulgences.

The hottest act now is a septet called, less-than-imaginatively, Seven, and three out of seven are of mixed race...
...became his generation's Mickey Mouse. Woods, who earns $54 million a year, mostly from endorsements, is expected to appear in commercials for Disney theme parks, endorse Disney merchandise and work with the Disney-owned network ESPN. He will be the only flesh-and-blood celebrity in the pantheon of adorable creatures Disney uses to put a face on its entertainment empire. Why not? After all, Tiger has the innocent looks and sunny disposition of Disney's famous character. One might quibble, of course, with his immodest evaluation of his feat. "It will probably go down...
