Reading's hockey families see the Junta incident as an unfortunate encounter rather than the spawn of rink rage. "The vast majority of parents are doing this for the right reasons," says John Rattigan, a lawyer and father of three boys, all of whom play hockey at the Burbank arena. "We don't necessarily clap for the other side, but we try to be good sports." Rattigan, who does not know Junta or Costin, calls the fight "a very isolated, unusual, scary incident...
...some 20 years older, Broadbent, 52, slips into Bayley's question-mark posture, the gentle stammer, the face that has known Iris love and Iris awe for so long that it's wreathed in a permanent giddy smile. Then the face becomes streaked with concern--and a quiet rage--at the disintegration of a first-class mind, the loss of memories that constitute their long life together. "In every love story, there's a third party," Broadbent says, "and in this one, it's Dr. Alzheimer, who is taking her away. And still they become closer and closer...
...feminism really dead? A friend of mine proclaimed that feminism should be rejected because it is an “outdated, misdirected ideology.” Bra burning, anger and rage are all images that many of us associate with the feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s.

But Argentina's collapsing finances demand urgent attention. Default on the country's $132 billion debt seems inevitable--especially since last week's popular rage was fed by the government's preoccupation with servicing debt in the midst of an economic meltdown. Unemployment has skyrocketed to more than 19%. Add to that a split in the opposition Peronist party, and it's clear that an end to Argentina's woes will not come soon or easily...
...problem in writing to suit the fashion is that fashions go out of fashion. In 1910 and beyond, there was a rage for "coon songs," which were to be sung as if by black performers - often by whites in blackface. "Alexander's Ragtime Band" is such a song, the name of the bandleader tipping listeners of the day to his race. Berlin wrote numbers popularized in blackface by Eddie Canton ("Mandy"), Al Jolson ("To My Mammy") and Bing Crosby ("Abraham" in "Holiday Inn"). Some of Berlin's coon songs offered what now seems like subversive social commentary. Beneath its jarring...
