...names savor of medicinal witcheries and faery mythologies. Weeds are infinitely more interesting in their way than mere pampered uptown flowers, those sleek, over bred showdogs. You can boil the wild weeds, eat them, put them on wounds. Their names are surrounded by an atmosphere of gossip. What goes on between Pokeweed and Bluebead Lilly? The groundlings-or groundhogs- want to know. What conspiratorial dialogue is whispered between Blue Toad flax and Monkshood? What soliloquies from Trumpet Creeper, from Lady's Thumb, from the grizzled Salt-Marsh Fleabane...
...have to be a serious music student to savor the festival. In this year's concert series, which runs from June 22 through July 8, Rilling explores the theme "Seasons of Life" with works by Bach, Brahms, Verdi, Vivaldi and Faure. Also on the schedule are concerts for kids with stories by Dr. Seuss (Gertrude McFuzz and Gerald McBoing Boing) set to music and a free workshop for high school vocalists called Hands On, Shoes Off, led by Bobby McFerrin...

So consider the release next month of Josie and the Pussycats, a live-action version of the comic book and '70s TV cartoon series, and this summer's Tomb Raider, with Angelina Jolie as supervixen Lara Croft. Consider, and savor, the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the all-time top-grossing foreign-language film that was set to hit the $100 million mark at the North American box office last weekend. Ang Lee's martial arts fantasy features two strong women, a 30ish warrior (Michelle Yeoh) and a willful...
