...thrilled that you included the Nickel Creek trio in your report on the next wave in music [INNOVATORS, May 28]. They are indeed in the vanguard of country music, which is badly in need of a shake-up. But what, I wonder, did you mean by saying "Nothing about them smells of bluegrass"? Bluegrass has evolved since Bill Monroe as much as jazz has since Louis Armstrong. It is full of innovative, nontraditional artists right now, and Nickel Creek's musicians are only the most visible among them. CRAIG HAVIGHURST Nashville, Tenn...
...Together with Gellert and sophomore point guard Elliott Prasse-Freeman, Harvey was part of a talented three-guard set that Sullivan employed most of the year. On the strength of this backcourt trio, Harvard more than made up for its deficiencies in size with its speed, passing and defense. Gellert, the Crimson's defensive stopper, led the Ivy League in steals for the second straight year, averaging 2.77 per game. Prasse-Freeman, meanwhile, led the league in assists with 6.3 apg. Both he and Harvey earned All-Ivy honorable mention for their efforts...

This cultural collision of the sweetest kind is the handiwork of guitarist Sean Watkins, 24; his sister Sara, 19, a violinist; and mandolin player Chris Thile, 20. Their virtuoso flights...
...allegedly got drunk and assaulted crew members on a British Airways flight. (Buck issued an apology and faces a court date on June 18). Yet despite aborted breakups and possible breakdowns, R.E.M.--arguably the most influential rock band of the '80s and '90s--is poised for fresh success. The trio's new album, Reveal (Warner Bros.), is its best since its 1992 megahit, Automatic for the People. "With the exception of U2, there's no one who has stayed together and stayed relevant for as long as we have," says Stipe. "We can't possibly compete with Limp Bizkit...
