HAVANA -- A rejected epilogue for Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, a 1941 letter from Ingrid Bergman and more than 20 letters from the 19-year-old Italian contessa he was in love with are among thousands of the author's documents Cuba is making available to outside scholars.

Drum ensemble plays new beat

By Rebekah Rankin · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:42 a.m.

Loud, overwhelming and powerful are the three words to sum up the first selection played by the Percussion Ensemble in Auer Hall Monday night. The ensemble, consisting mostly of drums and xylophones, was an awesome new sound. It was a different and fun type of concert compared to the sounds of a symphony band or orchestra that I was used to hearing.

Playing with words

By Brandon Morley · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:40 a.m.

Located at 312 S. Washington St. are the offices of a Bloomington theater company founded 22 years ago in 1980 by two IU Masters of Fine Arts students Tom Moseman and Jimmie Leonard. The two founded the continually financially troubled arts organizations so there would be another venue for local artists to perform as well as have their work performed.

Sanding the floor in our hearts

By Tom Whalen · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:34 a.m.

Last weekend I downloaded a song. OK, so I pirate music -- get over it. I don't even know who sings the song, I only know the title: "You're the Best Around." You all know this song, and somewhere inside your head you're asking yourself, "How do I know that song?" It's the theme song from "The Karate Kid." The song that's played at the end during the tournament. "You're the Best Around." You know I'm right.

Sex wars: Domination

By Michael Tapscott · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:33 a.m.

For a long time, I assumed that forming relationships was a completely arbitrary action. It was the outgrowth of being thrust into a situation with a certain person and dependent on how impressive you were to them. After four years in college, it has become abundantly clear to me that this is true.

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:32 a.m.

Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" was released amid a sea of buzz this past May, following hot on the heels of Bryan Singer's "X-Men" -- both adapted from popular Marvel Comics. "X-Men" changed the company's cards, and "Spider-Man" blew them into another stratosphere, easily becoming the summer's most financially successful film.

House approves homeland security bill in victory for Bush

By Abdullah AlShihri and Alan Fram · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:31 a.m.

WASHINGTON -- The House voted emphatically Wednesday to create a Homeland Security Department, propelling President Bush nearer his goal of answering last year's terrorist attacks with the biggest restructuring of government in half a century. The 299-121 roll call -- and a pair of favorable procedural votes in the Democratic-run Senate -- signaled that lawmakers were ready to award a legislative triumph to a president whose hand was strengthened by Republican victories in last week's congressional elections.

Film not limited to arthouse theaters

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:19 a.m.

This Mexican gem, which in English translates to "And Your Mother Too," accounts the sexual goings-on of two immensely different friends. Many cineastes missed this bold masterwork during its limited run in Bloomington this past May, but now that it's available on DVD, filmgoers with more adventurous tastes would be well advised to check it out.

Clashes in style make 'Fish' float belly-up

By K James Sward · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:17 a.m.

What is it about imported talent from the United Kingdom that we like so much here in the States? It isn't as if the UK is some untapped musical oasis where talent is left unexplored; in fact, the stateside music industry has been capitalizing off UK talent since the The Beatles.

Students support political parties on campus

By Adam Aasen · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:06 a.m.

A group of eager political spokespeople pass around campaign bumper stickers, make phone calls urging support on key issues, and hold debates to get out the word of candidates. These are not just expensive lobbyists and campaign managers performing these tasks. Many students right here at IU sacrifice their free time in support of their political views.

Heart and soul adds to mood music

By Ryan Whirty · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:06 a.m.

Tracy Chapman's Let It Rain, the sixth album in a career that rocketed to prominence in 1988 with a powerful, eponymous debut and spiked again with 1995's bluesy New Beginning, is dark. At least it sounds dark. Dour strings, sparse arrangements and doleful vocals combine to produce an album that, at first listen, sounds almost like a dirge mourning the loss of happiness, or, as suggested in the aptly titled "In the Dark," innocence: "Make my mind unable / To force the body to do its will / Let it be right for belief and denial / To share a space in the heart and leave us only to imagine / About the things some do in the dark."

Still brilliant after all these years

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, Nov. 14,2002 12:01 a.m.

In the liner notes to the new Paul Simon best-of, On My Way, Don't Know Where I'm Goin', writer David Wild credits Simon, along with Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder and Randy Newman, for taking American songwriting "to a deeper and more intelligent place." Unfortunately for him, Simon's career has been lower-key than those three. He isn't as weird or respected as Dylan. He isn't as funky, soulful or courageous as Wonder. He isn't as funny as Newman, nor does he have the Oscar telecast as an annual forum like Newman does. Furthermore, he hasn't embraced cheeseball arena-rock aspects as fully as Bruce Springsteen.
