Married to stage actress Allyson Tucker, Mitchell, 42, is working on his first solo album (which he's producing and marketing himself) and thanking the fates for treating him so well. "So many things in my life, I look at them and see a pattern," he says. "I was born on Halloween--a day when people put on costumes and pretend to be other people. What a perfect day for an actor to be born!" And Kiss Me, Kate is a perfect way for us to celebrate...
Starting, no doubt, with Cynthia Tucker, who edits the editorial page of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. These two brilliant black people have been waging an epic feud since the mayor took office six years ago. Campbell says Tucker suffers from a "slave mentality" that causes her to be "more vicious than white journalists." She says Campbell is "strident," "vain" and "out of control...

...hidden away in odd corners, most reliably at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), the List Visual Arts Center and the Rose Art Museum. A new sculpture park is in the works at the Univeristy of Massachusetts at Boston, under the very ambitious direction of art historian Paul Tucker. Pieces by Richard Serra, Nancy Holt and Ursula von Rydingsvard should be coming in within the next year or so, and Tucker has had encouraging conversations with Jenny Holzer, Maya Lin and Judy Chicago. In the meantime, if you go a little out of your way, there's plenty of good...
