Inside
- Answered questions (Christine Kraly Senior Staff Writer)
In my attempt to understand human beings more fully, I have assembled a list of what I consider unexplained phenomena. They appear to be obvious questions with obvious answers. But just think: do you get it? Read on and see if you, too, are perplexed by the wonder of humanity.
Viewpoint
- Lessons from childhood (Brittany Morehouse It's All About Anthropology)
Arguably, one of the greatest books of all time is "The Little Prince" by Antoine de St. Exupery. Its lines are memorable and its lessons priceless. Not really a child's story, yet not really a book for adults, its significance is monumental because it is somehow symbolic of both worlds — the child's as well as the adult's.

"Youth is such a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children."

Scene
- Haiku d'Etat fills void of mainstream hip-hop (TOM OGORZALEK Scene Music Critic)
When Motley Crue broke up, it became blatantly clear that a vacuum had been created in contemporary music. No one was there to take up the lyrical baton and sprint with it; the power of crap-rock was just too strong. What resulted was a growth of the movements of alienation: grunge and gangsta.

David Gray is a musical force to be reckoned with. This is very apparent on his second U.S. release, Lost Songs 95-98.
