ALANIS MORISSETTE'S 1995 album, Jagged Little Pill, provided an anthem for a generation of breakups and, to the delight of music retailers, sold 30 million copies. Ten years later, Morissette is getting dumped by those stores, who resent the Ottawa-born singer's hawking an acoustic version of Jagged exclusively at Starbucks for the first six weeks of its release. HMV Canada and indie U.S. music stores are removing Morissette's old CDs from their shelves in protest. "Anytime there's a paradigm shift like this, people are going to be resistant," the singer says. "It happened with...
...tell you one that's as obvious as the nose on your face: Don't let recidivists out! I don't care what any shrink will tell you. I've been in the trenches for ten years. Sex offenders do not get rehabbed. I think that it's always been that way.

"We have...
...popularity of it. Because it will sell. That's why I chose westerns originally. In the '50s, you could sell a western almost anywhere. The better pulp magazines--Dime Western, Zane Grey's Western, Ten-Story Western--paid 2¢ a word, which, for a 5,000-word story, was 100 bucks. In the '50s, that wasn't too bad, and anyway, I had a day job at the time writing Chevrolet ads. I would get up in the morning at 5 and write fiction for two hours. I had a rule that I had to start writing before...
Gray was said to have been nonplussed by the tenure of Neil L. Rudenstine, whose ten-year reign over Harvard she saw as overly passive and lacking in vision. Speaking at commencement ceremonies at MIT in 1995, Gray took what some saw as a veiled swipe at Rudenstine, arguing in lofty rhetoric for more dynamic leadership in higher education: “It is instructive to see how much of the rhetoric having to do with the decline of higher education derives from the language of a larger nostalgia and from romantic visions of a golden age that never quite...
