...three children by a husband she had never told about Rae, and she was terribly afraid someone would see her. And that's how we found ourselves hiding in that van like Joe Friday, waiting for the woman of a lifetime to show up. It is a very odd feeling to be staring holes in every Korean woman walking down a Korean street, thinking that your daughter may have sprung from her womb. All we knew about her was that she 1) might have her newborn girl with her, 2) was tiny--the birth certificate said...
...Columbia's Legacy division, which this week sends into the stores a boxed set of yet another remastering of the Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings of Louis Armstrong. The excuse? To help celebrate Louis Armstrong's 100th birthday, July 4, 2000, say the press materials. This is rather odd, since jazz scholars all agree that Armstrong was born Aug. 4, 1901. Odder still, the vaunted remastering is only slightly better than mediocre. So what is the fair-minded critic's response to all this...

Womack attacks these bruised sentiments in a voice that carries odd echoes: Dolly Parton without the wink and giggle, Alison Krauss after three years of therapy. Womack can play a tune choir-girl straight or give it a twist of bluegrass (which she can not only sing but also singe with wildfire intensity). Each rendition has the clarity of a soul...
...nuclear sub that only went into service in 1995. Yet it is the Kursk that languishes 350 feet down on the ocean floor, stricken after what the Russian navy calls a "big and serious collision." And despite a dramatic rescue effort, Moscow rates its chances of rescuing the 100-odd crewmen aboard as "not very high...
