...gift came from Tina Koyama of Seattle, who had crafted the birds as part of the Million Cranes project sponsored by Ploughshares, a local peace group. The project's aim, Koyama explained in an accompanying letter, was to send 1,000 paper cranes to each of 1,000 influential leaders around the world as a gesture for peace on the 40th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Koyama chose TIME's publisher, she wrote, because TIME is "a widely read magazine that informs many people every week." She added, "Please use your influence to make people realize there...
...successes since their first album was released in 1977. Any prosperity this band enjoyed would have to be odd, since the music it makes, fractured and rhythmic and inventive, touches amusingly on endless varieties of weirdness. Starting out, the nucleus of the band formed in Providence in 1974, when Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz, students at the Rhode Island School of Design, fell in with David Byrne, occasional student and otherworldly wit.

...Tina Turner and Foreigner will hit the area's big concert arenas this summer. It used to be that Boston Garden and Sullivan Stadium hired nationally popular musicians. Now wrestling matches and carnivals have replaced music as the main attraction at these two auditoriums. The Worcester Centrum has taken over as the reigning local big concert hall. Turner will be there July 21 and 22 and Foreigner August 5 and 6. If you can't get tickets to the Centrum shows, head down to Rhode Island's Providence Civic Center. Tina Turner plays Providence on July 25 and Foreigner...
