...come the kitchen and dinette, equipped with a table for two, standard-size sink and dishwasher, a 21-cu.-ft. refrigerator/freezer, including icemaker, and a clothes washer and a dryer. The bathroom has a toilet, two sinks and a full-size shower with brass fixtures. The bedroom, with a queen-size bed, has a second TV set, and a satellite dish on the roof keeps the bus linked to dozens of stations even while it cruises on the highway...
...There may be more big names in Martin's future. He's talking with Faith Hill, the country-pop crossover megastar and Grammy queen, about her next album. He may have a studio reunion with Celine Dion when she returns from maternity leave next year. They worked together on 1999's That's the Way It Is. Martin calls her vocals on that track the musical equivalent of "a sprinter running the 100 m in three seconds." And atop his dream list of artists to work with are Madonna, who's "just great," and Prince...
...reigning queen of gangsta rap, sweeps into the New York City radio station Hot 97 with the same you-can't-stop-me air Allen Iverson has when he steps onto a basketball court.

True, McDonagh's mordant vision of rural Irish life is pretty familiar by now, and "Connemara" does not have the structural neatness or the tragic force of "Beauty Queen." But it has something that Lonergan's plays don't have...
...will always be a Faster. Gleick, however, portends that our racing population will eventually crash into the limits of speed. In some ways, he shows we have already done this; we have learned that one can't hurry decomposition, nor a souffle, nor love. Gleick quotes the Red Queen in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass explaining to Alice that, in her world, "It takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place. Faster reveals that we are doing exactly that...
