Oscars: disappointment or not?

By Jack M. Silverstein · Tuesday, March 26,2002 2:55 a.m.

Back-to-back Russell Crowe movies named Best Picture? Are you kidding me? As usual, I'm pretty disappointed with the Best Picture winner, but that's the way it goes. Ron Howard's win and Ben Kingsley's loss were also annoying, and Whoopi -- while more tasteful than her last hosting duty in 1999 -- was not as funny Billy Crystal or Steve Martin. But this year's ceremony was not all bad. The Cirque du Soleil performance alone was worth tuning in for, as was the appearance of Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. In fact, Sunday night's show featured many pleasant surprises and memorable moments, and so, here were my favorites.

As people gathered in the Education Gallery of the John Waldron Arts Center Friday for an exhibition of student photography, junior Kim Davis was somewhere getting her head shaved.

Her hair will be used to make wigs for those who have lost their own hair through chemotherapy.

Rock and Roll inducts members

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody · Tuesday, March 19,2002 11:47 p.m.

NEW YORK -- They represented the anti-establishment, so it was a bit odd to see the Ramones so happy to become part of the music establishment as members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But for the remaining members of the punk rock originators -- whose lead singer, Joey Ramone, died last year -- Monday night's induction at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel represented long-overdue respect for the band that helped revolutionize rock with their rapid-fire, guitar-heavy songs.

"They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway. They say there's always magic in the air." -- "Broadway" from Smokey Joe's Cafe As spring break draws near and my plans for visiting New York City loom in front of me, I can't help but breathe a sigh of anticipation.

Warm up your winter with spices, herbs

By Alyson Brodsy and Camilla Saulsbury · Tuesday, March 5,2002 1:02 a.m.

If this week's arctic blast created a longing for a little spice in your life, consider your kitchen an ideal starting point. Adding a shake and a dash of herbs and spices to your meals is certain to warm the fires within. But if such a foray seems fraught with difficulty, take heart: seasoning with herbs and spices is not as complicated as you might imagine. With a bit of inspiration, imagination, and experimentation, a world of more flavorful food is well within reach.

Reading between the lines

By Elise LeBlanc · Monday, March 4,2002 1:20 a.m.

Professor Kathleen Linnix hunches over a fragile manuscript propped up on a foam wedge, observing it closely and scribbling extensive notes on index cards. The chair next to her has a cardboard box filled with only a tiny fraction of the 30,000 papers written by Hannah Whitall Smith, a Quaker Evangelist. Linnix traveled to Bloomington from Emory University in Atlanta to study a collection of her manuscripts matched only by those in the Library of Congress.

Jazz scene picks up steam

By Alyson Brodsy and Jonathan Sanders · Tuesday, Feb. 26,2002 11:38 p.m.

Two Saturdays ago, Bloomington finally got the chance to hear Joshua Redman perform. The famed saxophonist and his band graced the stage at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre Feb. 16, sponsored by Jazz From Bloomington. But the concert nearly didn't happen at all. Redman was originally slated to perform on Sept. 11, but the show was called off in light of our nation's tragedy. The cancellation almost cost the organization everything.

'Versatile' composer visits

By Kristin Lamb · Tuesday, Feb. 26,2002 11:36 p.m.

The lights dimmed and the screen lit up. As the name Patrick Williams scrolled down onto the screen, the audience applauded. Bloomington residents and IU students gathered Sunday night at the IU Foundation Showalter House to view the Academy Award-winning movie "Breaking Away." The IU Student Foundation sponsored the event in honor of Patrick Williams, who composed the score for the film. He visited IU Friday through Sunday to hold auditions for the Henry Mancini Institute.
