Of course, I could be wrong about that last bit: I've long loved how Berman's style seemed to alienate most people. I brought "The Frontier Index," the ninth song on Natural Bridge, into a freshman poetry class back in 1996. Almost no one knew what to make of it. One verse, lifted apparently from a joke that country singer Randy Travis told at a concert, goes: "Boy wants a car from his dad/ Dad says, 'First you gotta cut that hair'/ Boy says, 'Hey Dad, Jesus had long hair'/ and Dad says, 'That's right, son: Jesus walked everywhere.'" Berman took a bit of down-home wisdom and stuck it in the alien context of an indie rock song. It was as brilliant to me as it was incomprehensible to my fellow classmates, who thought the song was about a father/son conflict. I still laugh at that interpre...
Alittle over two years ago, just as the Phillies were about to begin their postseason run to a World Series title, This Space observed that, "what we're seeing, right here, right now, could be a last hurrah. Sounds ridiculous now, of course. But while I obviously had the diagnosis wrong (who could then have factored in a $135 million payroll, and thus the Roys, Halladay and Oswalt?), the symptomology, it says here, was on the money:
Every new year, I rummage through boxes of advance copies of books with some excitement, wondering if there's anything I might want to read right away, right there on the scuffed gray carpet with the metal filing cabinets. And every time, I find something. This year, the lists seem especially enticing. I could be wrong, of course, as I get deeper into the books. But several titles coming this quarter intrigued me - though I might not be reviewing them all. Some of my favorites won't be mentioned here, either, because they're to be reviewed in our pages shortly. Still, let's take a look at a few; fiction today, non-fiction next Sunday.
Farther down the sports page, we read that a new contract for the women's basketball coach at Tennessee has pushed UT's budget for two basketball coaches and a football coach past $4 million, enough to hire a whole new faculty and buy half of them new cars. Of course that's chump change to Duke's Coach K-not just a coach, his commercial says, but "a leader." In lieu of leading, the great coach seems to have retreated to an underground bunker with his image engineers, afraid or disinclined to say a word about the scandal that has substantially devalued the turf he rules by divine right, as Duke presidents come and go. ("He's not the power behind the throne; he sits on the only throne there is," said one disenchanted professor.) My god, what if some blue-chip basketball recruit, intimidat...

WHEN SEEKING to make sense of what goes on in Washington, it's usually best to consult a convicted felon. And I don't know of anybody who offered keener insight into the debt-ceiling deal between President Barack Obama and congressional leaders than Richard Nixon's felonious attorney general John N. Mitchell, notwithstanding the fact that he's been dead 22 years. Watch what we do, not what we say," Mitchell told reporters as he took office. It was good advice then, and it's good advice now.

You've talked about indoor TV antennas in the past. Can you recommend one for me and my situation? We are seeking to pick up local signals from transmitting sites no more than 10 miles away. But we are in a basement apartment, and there is a large building between us and the stations. Will any antenna work in that situation? The landlord provides only cable jacks.

What is paradise? Just ask Eric Laslow. As the new chef of Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort, Laslow has invented his own culinary idyll with his Paradise Riverside Bar and Grill. Here, on the shaded patio mere feet from the Ro Pueblo, paradise is sipping a cocktail made with hand-infused vodkas, punctuated with the thrum of well-fed hummingbirds and the sizzle of tacos being made on the grill. It is, since its opening in March, the best place you may never have heard of. At least, for the moment-Laslow is making Sipapu even more of a hotspot with his monthly modern Southwestern cuisine cooking classes, which debuted in the resort's day room July 11. For about $65, Laslow's students get a four-course meal paired with their choice of beer or wine, thorough instruction and copies of the night'...
