...just smashing the thing, Brooklyn duo High Places have found an actual use for one. On their self-titled debut album, High Places layer cross-cultural melodies over naturalistic soundscapes (think rainforest) with surprising success. At first, it may sound like a mess—discombobulated, slapdash, and just plain weird. But High Places aren’t just some randoms who decided to combine their love of global ethnic music with their snoozing troubles. Behind the ambience and space, the music is actually quite complex and sophisticated, especially given the band’s make...

...itself enough respect to be picked over a team like Lehigh.The Mountain Hawks have a decent defense but Cornell has too many playmakers, most notably the running back duo of Randy Barbour and Luke Siwula.

Ask people in Dhaka today and they'll tell you the true figure of Bengali civilians murdered by West Pakistani troops and death squads guided by collaborators was three times that. Bangladesh sits atop an alluvial plain, so those bent on genocide needed only to dump bodies in rivers or, as at the Jalladkhana, down the wells and conduits of local water-pumping stations, where corpses were literally flushed away into the sea. "These are crimes so horrible that even God wouldn't forgive you," says...

...Cohn, describing his “hard, Jewish, stubborn streak” and noting of a certain expression that it is how “his compatriot must have looked when he saw the promised land.” This is the worst of Hemingway: completely unnecessary, uncontrolled racism, plain and simple. Rather than taking the time to describe Cohn as a person, an individual, with individualized attributes, Hemingway just lazily throws catch-all racist epithets that go no more than skin deep.
