...over that Gossip Guy photo. Not over Toto. Not over Ivy n' Matty. Can't get over the affected exclamation, "Amazing." Addicted to lip balms, try as we might. Not over illegal drug use. Or girlfriends. Not over modesty. Not over Bob Slate's or Bob Pollard. Family: not over the concept. Anna's not over her dog or the "hot Anna" photo we didn't run on page 28. Mica: not over yellow. Not over 11 X 17. Can't move beyond baths. Also not over wool. Not over Catcher in the Rye. Not over the Midwest, nope...
...White House meeting on federal aid to New York's teaching hospitals called by one of the state's sitting Senators, Chuck Schumer. There, as Schumer put it, she "chimed in." Then last week, some pro-Israeli activists publicly urged her to seek the freedom of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard. And G.O.P. Congressman Thomas Reynolds wants her to take on the Justice Department over Cayuga Indian claims in the Finger Lakes area.

One American for whom Sheinbein?s plea bargain may be particularly painful: Jonathan Pollard, who is serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison after his conviction in 1985 on charges of spying for Israel. Israel has been quietly pressing for Pollard?s release since last year?s Wye River talks, but the spectacle of a U.S. teen getting lenient treatment on a murder...
...Fist-pumping boys screamed along as the older break-up anthems came on, but the newer songs are plenty angry, never fear. Pollard's howled rendition of "Break Free," which he wrote for the new album, was particularly frightening. Lou's soulful lyrics and simple beats on "Flame" transform angst into actual anguish, however, and on many of the pieces from the latest album the guitars do most of the screaming. Due in part to Lou's sore throat, this emphasis on dexterous guitar and bass still conveys the raw emotion and intensity of Sebadoh's songs. Slouching on stage...
