...worn. The Three Musketeers as featured in The Man in the Iron Mask are clearly not the devil-may-care dudes on the candy-bar wrapper. But the stars of the new film based on the last book in Alexandre Dumas's trilogy find the long-in-the-tooth trio with more savoir faire. "They still have a little swash, a little buckle," says JEREMY IRONS, who plays Aramis. "But they are older and wiser." GERARD DEPARDIEU is Porthos, JOHN MALKOVICH is Athos, and GABRIEL BYRNE is D'Artagnan, their friend and captain. The film by first-time director Randall...

Their mother schools the three (and three younger siblings) at home, and their father works as a financial exec for an oil-drilling company. The family traveled a lot, and the brothers passed the time listening...
...most exciting thing about the rock trio Sleater-Kinney is that it sounds as if its members are still learning how to be a rock band; they rip through their songs with a gleeful abandon, as if they had just discovered their instruments behind some old tires in the garage--they didn't pay for 'em, so who cares if they bust a few drumsticks or break a few strings...
Keller's book, Comfort Woman (Viking; 213 pages; $21.95), is one of a trio of powerful debut novels by Asian-American women to arrive in bookstores lately. The others: Monkey King (HarperCollins; 310 pages; $24) by Patricia Chao (of Chinese and Japanese descent) and The Necessary Hunger (Simon & Schuster; 365 pages; $23) by Nina Revoyr (whose mother and father are Japanese and Polish-American, respectively). Although these books share some themes--all of them deal with parents and children in conflict over such issues as cultural and sexual identity--each author has a sharp, specific vision...
