...Trouble with Amy I applaud Josh Tyrangiel's defense of Amy Winehouse in his article "Trouble Woman" [Feb. 4]. She is a rare talent, and her music is a wonderful combination of Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin, with a little touch of Otis Redding thrown in. She would have been very much at home at Stax Records. It's troubling to read about Winehouse's high jinks in recent months. Despite her enormous gifts, she has inner demons and struggles. However, I still root for her because, as is evident on Back to Black, Winehouse is aware of them...
...classic and 32nd in the 5K freestyle, scoring 30 points. Freshman Alyssa Devlin scored 30 as well, racking up most of her points from her 28th place finish in the 5K freestyle and boosted her numbers further by finishing 34th in the 15K freestyle.

No one, even the fashionable lady mourner, is exempt from Faust’s wit. Everyone’s story—whether they’re a private or a general, a slave or a Harvard scholar?...
...considerably older man, the viewer can hardly believe that it is Baker himself, making the transition into the sordid tale of his undoing all the more chilling.The intervening years weren’t kind to Baker. The film juxtaposes those early photographs against a man whose charisma and talent concealed a monster that, by 1987, had all but swallowed him whole.As Baker dubiously recounts a 1966 encounter that resulted in the loss of most of his teeth, and the subsequent destruction of his embouchure, it is clear that Baker has slipped somewhat beyond reality into his own self-delusions...
