...rare and dangerous for practitioners to meet. But Falun Gong's leaders overseas can still get their message out through followers like a woman in her 30s who met recently with TIME. An accountant for a foreign company in Beijing, she secretly uses her firm's overseas data line to read Falun Gong's website. In early January she found an essay by Li Hongzhi called "Beyond the Limits of Forbearance." Written at the time the demonstrations were starting to ebb, the essay urged more dramatic actions against the "evil" of the crackdown. "I copied...
...Brown's music (lushly orchestrated with Brown himself on piano) is the least arid and most accessible of the scores turned out by his generation of Sondheim disciples. This is smart, lyric-driven music that doesn't abandon melody or variety. One number rocks; another harks back to '30s Tin Pan Alley. And a wistful, turn-of-the-century-style waltz sends you out of the theater with a lovely, warmhearted souvenir. Most of the souvenirs at The Producers cost 20 bucks...
...Billing himself as Rhubarb Red, Paul soon had a country-music act out of Chicago; he'd play harmonica and guitar and, between numbers, peddle rube humor.

...single woman in my 30s, I'm naturally terrified of children. I mean, what do I do with them? How do I get them to do what I say? Will they even like me? To help answer these questions and that other great mystery of postmodern life--why kids are so mesmerized by video games--I arranged a little experiment. First I finagled four of the new Game Boy Advance handhelds ($100 successors to Game Boy Color with a larger screen, faster processor and better colors and sound) that Nintendo will release in the U.S. on June 11. Next...
...Since then, Crosby's star has not disappeared, but it has dimmed. In "The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz," a standard reference, Crosby gets less space than his younger brother Bob, who fronted a Dixieland band in the '30s and beyond, and who may be the only bandleader of the time who could not play an instrument. Bing is hardly to be seen in Ken Burns' 19-hour documentary "Jazz," though he employed many jazz masters on his records and radio shows, and teamed with Louis Armstrong more often than any star except Bob Hope. Ask people over 40 to describe...
