| Wilco pulls out all the stops in five-night residency
How special was Wilco's show Friday night at the Riviera Theatre? Special enough to bring back the banjo. The Chicago band's longtime listeners will recall a time when front man Jeff Tweedy wanted so badly to break with his roots-rock beginnings that he told fans to stash the twangy instrument in a rather uncomfortable part of their collective anatomy. .
Thanks to A& M and a district attorney, two cadets escape punishment ...
If we stuck with "the law is the law", then women would still be little more than chattel and Blacks would not have the right to vote. 2. It's a security issue: Where was the only legitimate terroristic bombing threat since 9/11 from? The CANADIAN border. You see Canada has way more Muslims than Mexico. Now, the State Department lists the ELN, FARC, AUC and Shining Path as "Terrorist Organizations". http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/crt/2005/65275.htm They also list Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. http://www.state.gov/s/ct/c14151.htm.

Marie S. Jonap, 87, treasured Italian cities, Hungarian recipes
There are photos of her in gondolas, in front of the Rialto Bridge and feeding the pigeons in the Piazza San Marco. Marie Jonap was swept away by Italy in all its glory, from its mountain-rimmed lakes to the toe of its well-heeled boot. But Venice was the city of her dreams. .
