...Conrad Susa and Philip Littell, who have seized upon Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's 18th century epistolary novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses as a fitting subject for an opera. It is an inspired choice: in the machinating Marquise de Merteuil and the voluptuary Vicomte de Valmont the composer has two soulless soul mates whose knowledge of the ways of love make The Art of War look like a kindergarten training manual. What Susa and Littell have created in The Dangerous Liaisons, now getting its world premiere at the San Francisco Opera, is nothing short of wonderful: a finely wrought near masterpiece...

Guitarist Chan Cinchla's hair antics were more annoying than his slick ,soulless solos.

But in its meticulously brutal imagery, in its theme of humanity enslaved and justice outraged, in its Manichaean categorizing of people as holy victims or soulless villains, Famine-33 has important similarities to Hollywood-financed pictures coming this Christmas to a 'plex near...
Numbers, poets complain, are soulless things, the anonymous rungs of infinity. But it is hard to talk about Billy Graham, the great reaper of souls, without talking about numbers. This is the man who has preached in person to more people than any human being who has ever lived. What began in country churches and trailer parks and circus tents moved through cathedrals and stadiums and the world's vast public squares, where he has called upon more than 100,000,000 people to "accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour...
