That last invention is built on a claim in the Protogospel of James that Jesus was born in a cave in Bethlehem, and on a hint from the apostle Paul, who mentions that the risen Jesus appeared "to the Twelve," not the Eleven. None of the canonical Gospels, however, follow Paul's lead; yet the variety of their Resurrection stories is both convincing and unnerving. Most of them have a grainy credibility; at least one (Matthew's) seems generic and manufactured. Paul's account, in I Corinthians 15, was written some 25 years after Jesus' death and precedes Mark...
...Minors," he said, "lack some of the most fundamental rights of self-determination--including even the right of liberty in its narrow sense, i.e., the right to come and go at will."

...Mitchell has found the heart--and the laughs and the sexiness too--in a knockout follow-up to his career-making role two seasons ago as Coalhouse Walker in Ragtime.

What's compelling about these acts is that they are not overtly focused on chart topping. "Follow your heart/And not mankind," Q-Tip raps on Do It, See It, Be It. Eclecticism is seen as a virtue.

The song is scheduled to appear on the sound track to the Denzel Washington film The Hurricane. Mos Def is also contributing material to the album...
...quick to put aside anecdote, draftsmanship and the raptures of watching paint do its dead-on imitations of other stuff. In short, what it might have been like if it valued more what Rockwell did. Given the essential places where painting had to go, places where Rockwell couldn't follow, maybe art had to put those things aside. But his best pictures remind you of the powers it gave up as a consequence. It may be true that Rockwell did nothing to advance art history. But what he did, in his humble way, was humble...
