...solid number but it clearly owes a lot to Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, with whom Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder worked on the soundtrack to the film 'Dead Man Walking.' Other songs are even more derivative. The countrified garage rocker 'Smile' sounds like a Neil Young tune, right down to the harmonica solo; it's pleasant enough, but it lacks the ornery soul of the genuine article. "Hopefully," says Farley, "this is just a brief detour and the next time out, Pearl Jam will find its way back to the gutsy inventiveness that deservedly made it the most...

A second printing was ordered after the first one sold out in one week, and the Peterson bird guides--he added one covering the species of the Western U.S. in 1941--have been selling, to the tune of some 7 million copies, ever since. Peterson produced, alone or with collaborators, scores of other guides on such subjects as wildflowers, butterflies, mammals and minerals. His books have been translated into a dozen languages. He received scads of awards and honorary degrees and was nominated for the Nobel Peace...
...Coffee, a Starbucks-like franchise (Yes, the very same as our dear Science Center coffee cart and Loker Commons fare). One morning, as I sat in that coffee shop with the entertainment supplement to the Seattle Times and a cappuccino, feeling quite sophisticated searching for cultural enlightenment to the tune of an espresso drink, a crew of construction workers left their concrete solidifying in the forms for the opera house foundation, crossed the street, walked past me into the cafe and congregated under the "Order Here" sign. How funny, I thought, for men in mud-encrusted boots and greasy overalls...
