...ninth birthday came wrapped in silver spandex. The 5-ft.7-in. gift walked in on a red carpet, stripped off her floor-length black coat to reveal silver hip huggers and a matching tube top and sang, "I think I did it again/I made you believe..." And for a few wondrous moments, Rachel and her 10 girlfriends did believe that Britney Spears was in the house, lip-synching in front of the marble fireplace and rocking chair in Rachel's North Salem, N.Y., living room. On this recent Saturday, Shannon Connor, 21, an impersonator in hot demand at birthday parties throughout...
...true for others on the mainstream's margins, being born biracial is an invitation to view the world from the wondrous, troubling perspective of insider/outsider.

...Lewis died at the age of 93 on August 30, leaving behind a wondrous cinematic legacy. His biggest fans, not surprisingly, are filmmakers who started out as movie buffs - Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich, Bertrand Tavernier. His most noted films continue to turn up on college campuses and in repertory theaters, but his work is difficult (if not impossible) to find on television and in home video/DVD stores (his most celebrated film, "Gun Crazy," is currently out of distribution.) An unfortunate fate for a man who lavished care on every one of his pictures, introducing kinetic visuals in even the most...
