...This year, though, nobody showed. Blanchett graciously issued a thank-you statement anyway. Schnabel watched the show on an airport TV set, and told a reporter he was pleased. The rest presumably saved their acceptance speeches in hopeful anticipation of delivering them on the Oscar show - if there is one. I have to say that, for all the flak the usual Globes dinner takes, I missed the parade of the elite, the witticisms and platitudes, the stars chatting one another up, or stuck in traffic or the bathroom. I can forgive the Hollywood Foreign Press Association almost anything, so long...
...Advising Programs Office (APO) will be two years old this February, and we are now taking stock of our programs to begin to chart future directions. I would like to thank the many students, faculty, administrators, and alumni who have shared their ideas with us. Some of you continue to advise and assist us on all aspects of our work.

In 1959, Bolin told federal scientists that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would rise 25% from 1850 to 2000. Thirty years later, as the first chairman of the U.N.

PATSY CLINE AND TAMMY Wynette were fine, thank you, but for Country Music Hall of Fame producer Ken Nelson, the orchestral, slickly produced Nashville sound of the '50s needed an update. As the understated, hands-off country guru at Capitol Records for 20 years, the California-based Nelson defined the raw, twangy style that became known as the Bakersfield sound, first with the 1952 Hank Thompson hit The Wild Side of Life and later by discovering Merle Haggard (above, at left) and Buck Owens...
