...Neptunes, happily, don’t seem to have that problem. Despite their career running parallel to Tim’s, they always struck me as utterly divergent. I don’t think Pharrell and Chad have ever really cared about the voice in their music (ignoring the former’s penchant for crooning), or about “musicality” by extension, because their tracks don’t seem tailor-made for anyone. “Hot In Herre” may still be their finest moment, with its awesomely self-assured drum break that...
...DIVORCE GRANTED. To MRS. OH, North Korean defector whose husband is still trapped in the Stalinist state; in Seoul. The decision by a South Korean family court sets a precedent for other couples divided by the 38th parallel to be formally divorced; the court ruled that Oh, whose full name and age were withheld, is entitled to a divorce because "there is little possibility that people will be allowed to come and go freely across the border in the near future...
...postmodern repertoire offers something for almost everybody to like, though of course he has high-level, high-volume detractors. In Frankfurt, Schnabel and his Basque wife, Olatz, a stunning former model, were feted like movie stars, with 20 TV appearances, an eight-page spread in German Vogue, and the parallel rerelease of a prizewinning Schnabel film, Before Night Falls.

The explanations were driven not by technical reasons but by the moral and personal depravity engendered by the regime. A rational person would look at it one way, and it would be completely wrong, because in this parallel universe there was a different set of rules...
Harriet Tubman was Jacobs' temperamental opposite, but in many ways their lives ran on parallel tracks. In Catherine Clinton's Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom (Little, Brown; 272 pages), the first major biography of Tubman in more than 100 years, we see the heroine of children's books and biopics with a new clarity and richness of detail. Born a slave in Maryland, Tubman made a break for freedom in 1849, leaving her husband behind. "There was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death," she later said. "If I could not have...
