...playing a plastic saxophone borrowed from a local music store. At one point, bassist Charles Mingus got so angry at trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's antics that he stomped offstage. Yet on this night of May 15, 1953, at Toronto's Massey Hall, the musicians, along with drummer Max Roach, somehow pulled together to give an incandescent, unforgettable performance. Captured in a low-fi taping by Mingus and Roach, the concert showed what bebop--and live jazz--was all about...
...book on which Luis Bunuel based Belle de Jour - published in 1943, when he was himself a member of the resistance, and it was written and directed by Jean-Pierre Melville (also a resistance fighter) in 1969, a quarter of a century after he first decided that he somehow had to make a movie of this story. It now appears in the United States for the first time in an impeccable print (the images of cinematographer Pierre Lhomme are as subtly hued as a 19th Century color engraving...
...public life as a wrestler and it has been observed that in his presence he is the logical successor to Jean Gabin, another great screen actor whom the camera never catches acting.

Somehow, no one noticed the gaping hole that remained when the Council voted on the constitutional amendment. For upon its passage, the UC was left with no provision for dealing with bylaw changes. (It passed by a vote of 31-0, with four members abstaining, and the rest not casting...
...less than what the ardent posters at ThankYouStephenColbert.org would like it to. While it may have shocked the President to hear someone talk so openly about his misdeeds in the setting of the correspondents dinner - joking about "the most powerful photo-ops in the world" and NSA wiretaps - I somehow doubt that Bush has never heard these criticisms before. To laud Colbert for saying them seems to me, a card-carrying lefty, to be settling. Colbert's defenders might aim for the same stinging criticisms to be issued not from the Hilton ballroom but from the dais in a Senate...
