Our World: Tell me a story
Sunday, Sept. 7, 2008
Mary Lou Williams stands in front of a mirror, but she doesn’t see herself. It looks like her: A woman looks back at her, wearing the same colorful shirt, the same beaded necklace and earrings she put on in the morning. A bun is twisted high on her head, hiding her waist-long hair. Full story »

Sometimes it seems as if the breathtaking, record-breaking art sales figures wash in like the waves on Gulf beaches. Fortunate collectors elsewhere are making millions on their prize works. Why not the rest of us?

Chris Isaak brings his rock croon to Barbara B. Mann
Thursday, Sept. 4, 2008
Chris Isaak, 52, was probably just born at the wrong time. Nearly 25 years after he got his start with “Silvertone,” he descends on the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall Tuesday night with a show that’s likely to be more of a singing time capsule than the set of a viable recording artist. Full story »

Willie is just a mini horse but for some he’s a brief bridge to the past
Thursday, Sept. 4, 2008
This is a place where memories are scarce. Precious. And often hovering just out of reach. Some people who live with Alzheimer’s or dementia know that they’ve misplaced parts of the past. Others lose their memories so completely that even the loss is forgotten.

Let's Talk Food: With September comes figs
Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2008
Each September my thoughts turn to Tuscany and the Villa Il Poggia, where I spent an unforgettable month.
Surrounding the villa are four acres of olive trees, wild mint, a family of partridges, several hungry rabbits, a lush vegetable garden and my favorite, a towering fig tree. Much to my consternation, my August arrival was too early for me to indulge in my passion for figs. Still, each day I would stand under that tree and gaze upward at the tiny, immature figs. In spite of my entreaties to hurry and ripen, I left Italy with nary a fig in my stomach. Full story »
