...sophomore year, anecdotes about Patitucci’s antics verged on the absurd. How he took a week off of school for Mardi Gras, found himself at the Big Daddy strip club and fell in love with an exotic dancer named Raven. How he went to Disney World, drank a handle of rum and, at 7 a.m., vomited off the balcony of his hotel room while children looked on in wide-eyed wonder. How he got back his fake ID at the Quincy formal after his date, a waitress he picked up at Bartley’s, flashed the bouncer...
...fair, Mary-Kate and Ashley aren’t the only child stars who have attempted to forge teenage careers. Raven Simone, the youngest Cosby, dropped a record of her own a few years back. But as That’s So Raven languishes in a K-Mart bargain bin somewhere in Omaha, we must accept the sad truth: absent the blonde, former child stars haven’t a prayer of retaining their fame. Sorry, Pete and Pete, the masses have spoken: 10 million girls of America want Olsen movies—and clothes and makeup and books...
...that the Ramones are history, Lou Reed is the last of the New York City avant-rockers still soldiering on. He too has been mislabeled--icy and pretentious--although he's begging for it with his latest project. The Raven, as Reed tells it, is a two-CD "movie for the mind" inspired by Edgar Allan Poe.

Half the album is narration--from The Raven, Annabel Lee, etc.--performed by Willem Dafoe, Steve Buscemi and Amanda...
...other half of The Raven, however, is songs, the best of which are a continuation of the weary romantic journey Reed has been on since his Velvet Underground days. None are verse-chorus-verse accessible, but Perfect Day and the fiery duet I Wanna Know (The Pit and the Pendulum), with the Blind Boys of Alabama, prove that Reed is still attuned to the knocking on his own chamber door. "One thinks of what one hopes to be," he sings mournfully, "and then faces reality." --By Josh Tyrangiel
...convicted triple murderer scheduled to die by lethal injection a month from the opening of last year’s Reversible Errors—the sixth and latest crime novel from Scott Turow, Harvard Law School (HLS) Class of 1977. Assigned to Gandolph’s case is Arthur Raven, a corporate lawyer until a judge waves a “magic wand” and turns what Turow describes as an “unwilling toad—a fully occupied lawyer—into a pro bono prince, with a demanding new non-paying client whom the rules...
