...with Justice Department trustbusters' approval of AT&T's acquisition of cable giant MediaOne, a corporate marriage that will create America's largest cable provider. If the other regulatory body involved, the Federal Communications Commission, gives AT&T the nod, the corporation will have successfully transformed itself from an old-school telephone giant into a high-tech force to be reckoned with - and will have done so remarkably quickly. Only Time Warner (the parent company of TIME.com) would rival the AT&T-MediaOne mega-company...
...Cabaret seemed to include almost everything, from two thousand year old Hindu dance to old-school breakdancing, but it never felt like a simple variety show. There seemed to be an understanding that this was no random display of talent. This is part of what we are, this is what we do, all seemed to say, from "hardcore jazz" trio Triple Threat (Jon Natchez '99, Adam Schneit '98 and Ben Herson) to dazzling drag queen MsBegotten (Sasha Badian...

The album's title is a direct reference to abolitionist leader Harriet Tubman: let's hope that Rah Digga's debut guides...
...Guster? Where? Apparently someone on the Boson College Social Planning Committee decided to throw all conventions to the wind and plan a concert with old-school rap group Run DMC and college-rock favorites Guster co-headlining. Well, to be honest, "co headliners" is a relative term, and it would only be fair to admit that Guster stole the show last Wednesday in BC's Conte Forum. While Run DMC had its small share of loyal fans who apparently knew lyrics here and there within their set, the group's most emphatic claim was something along the lines...
