What exactly is the Blues? To a neophyte Blues listener like me, this seems like a legitimate question. When I went to the Blues for Zoos concert at the Franklin Park Zoo last Saturday, I went expecting soulful ballads and tearful, aching, "When I lost my lover" types of songs. What I heard there taught me that the Blues is not just Lady Day crooning in a darkened, smoke-filled, hole-in-the-wall nightclub, although that is a part of it. No, the Blues varies from James Brown to the gospel troup Blind Boys from Alabama. It goes from...
When my friends and I arrived at the Park, we saw a woman walking across the parking lot who caught everyone's eye. A tall, buxom, Black woman, she walked with a confident gate that oozed sensuality. What caught our attention, though, was her skin tight, flesh-toned body suit and black velvet vest whose fringes cascaded down to her upper thigh. Seen from far away, it looked like she was only wearing the vest. We were relieved, 40 minutes later, to find out this was Angela McClenton and to see her on stage strutting her stuff.

Hitchcock's film, written by John Michael Hayes and adapted from the short story by Cornell Woolrich, intertwines a murder mystery and the voyeuristic antic of an incapacitated photographer, with a feud of the sexes.

Now her witnesses had established a plausible 76 minutes during which Simpson could have driven the two miles to Nicole's condominium, killed and returned; bumped into Kaelin's wall while re-entering his property via a service path; and been spotted by Park as he crossed back to the main house. The clincher in the scenario was an especially dramatic piece of evidence: a bloody glove found on the service path -- the apparent mate to one dropped near the bodies...
...tickets, priced at up to $1,000, have almost sold out. The venue, Dodger Stadium, is being transformed from a ball field into a fancy theater with a neoclassical stage flanked by graceful columns -- which, like the promoter, come from Hungary. Behind that will be an instant park made from 30 truckloads of assorted greenery -- amid which two four-story-high waterfalls will come plashing down. Except during the performance. In deference to the three supertenors who will make up the dream program -- Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti -- the cascades will be stilled. This Saturday's concert...
