Kids see magic in 'Potter'

By Alyson Brodsy and Associated Press · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

LONDON -- Director Chris Columbus got rave reviews from the kids who saw "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," which is a change from the reaction he's gotten in the past from adult film critics. "The critics have never been kind to me," said Columbus, whose past films include "Adventures in Babysitting" and "Bicentennial Man," as well as more successful movies like "Home Alone." But "this film feels different," he said. "I do know that I love the picture, and that's really important -- though in the end, who knows?" After attending the premiere in London on Sunday, 12-year-old Alex Roberts wrote in Monday's Guardian newspaper, "I don't think I'll watch it nine times, but it will certainly be one of my favorite films."

Saba - 'Breeze of the East' comes to Bloomington

By Daven Kolderup and Davin Kolderup · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

A musical journey that has taken thousands of years is continuing this Sunday at IU. That music has followed the Silk Road, the ancient trade route linking China and Rome in an exchange of goods and cultures that has had an impact on the shape of Eurasia to this day. Now Sabá, a Bloomington-based ensemble featuring musicians from Turkey to New Jersey, are bringing the ancient folk music of the East to the modern-day Midwest. This Sunday IU's 2001 Summer Workshop in Slavic, East European and Central Eurasian Languages will present the Ninth Annual Central Eurasian Concert: "Silk Road: A Cultural and Musical Journey by Sabá, Breeze of the East."

Soothe the soul with pudding

By Camilla Saulsbury · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

January is here: hooray for it! In January, you do not need to charm or entertain. You do not need to put on a performance. All you have to do is appear, sit in your required seat, listen or not listen, smile or not smile. The sheer relief of January quiet is enough to make anyone turn to pudding. And turn to pudding is exactly what I do: bread pudding and stirred pudding most often, but even a ready-made cup of pudding when time is short.

A new spin on a classic play

By John DeBoer · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The students and faculty of the Department of Theatre and Drama have been waiting a long time for the opening of the new Theatre/Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. Since the ground breaking ceremony Oct. 16, 1998, department members have been tantalized by the prospect of new classrooms, offices, scene shops, costume shops and most importantly, two beautiful new theaters. They have waited patiently as the chaotic bangs, crashes and pops of construction have interrupted their classes and rehearsals.

NEW YORK -- Bass vibrates through the wood-paneled studio, and the green monitor lights jump with the playback of a rapper named Jade spitting out a verse about guns and money. But what stands out in the mix is the trebly, metallic voice in the background, punctuating the verses: "Yea-uh! Uggghhhh-ah!"

The Pioneer Women's Club keeps traditions alive

By Adrienne Ball · Sunday, June 2,2002 10:28 p.m.

Quilting is an art form like no other. Hundreds of tiny pieces of fabric are "pieced" together to create images of pinwheels, birds, portraits of people, flowers, tea pots, kittens, rabbits, and a myriad of startling and colorful abstract designs. Once the pieces are sewn together, borders, batting and backing fabric are added and then the entire piece is quilted, sewn over with a design either by hand or by machine, to complete the laborious process.

By Alyson Brodsy and Lynn Elber · Wednesday, May 29,2002 11:21 p.m.

As a child, Sonny Skyhawk slipped out of bed one night to eavesdrop on his parents and other grown-ups. He wondered: Did they secretly talk in the odd, staccato way Tonto did on "The Lone Ranger"? Turned out the television series wasn't realistic.
