...Webber is no minor princeling. His The Phantom of the Opera has played in London's West End for 13 years and grossed an astounding $3.1 billion worldwide in ticket sales, to say nothing of CDs and sweatshirts. From his pen have also flowed Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar and Starlight Express. And Evita, with a little help from Madonna, grossed $146 million as a movie after racking up millions as a play. Like many an aristocrat before him, Lord Lloyd Webber (he was made a baron for life in 1997) has decided to add to his impressive digs in London...
...itinerant Southern woman; she's been married three times, and when her relationships end, she simply packs up moves herself and her daughter elsewhere. Twelve-year-old Ava is less than thrilled when her mom plucks her from life in West Virginia and takes her across the country to Starlight Beach, Calif.; Ava wants a real home and stability, and for her mom to meet the right man and finally settle down. Mary Jo moves herself and Ava in with Jack (Gavin O'Connor), a seemingly nice trucker; Ava makes friends at school and becomes friends with Dan, a nice...
Interesting enough for him to kick off his own O(for optical)SETI effort. Needing just three months and $20,000, his team built a stereo-size detector designed to look over the shoulder of Harvard's 61-in. telescope as it conducts regular studies of starlight. While stars typically pulsate comparatively slowly, Horowitz's device is calibrated to spot intense stellar flare-ups lasting only a few billionths of a second. Such "events," he figures, would probably be powerful bursts of artificial light aimed at us from an inhabited planet orbiting that star. In short, an interstellar hello...
...these guys had already been assured 250 tickets and just had to earn them by taking four-hour shifts collecting money for the Starlight Foundation outside the cinema. They had a name, NYLine Countdown to Star Wars, and 17 staff members, including a media-relations liaison, a sponsor-relations coordinator and a treasurer. They had a permit from the city, a hotel room across the street for showers, a pay phone hooked up to take phone calls from radio stations, and a tech-support van broadcasting a live webcam pointed at the theater. This, I assume, was to prove...
...nine-member band, based in Los Angeles, plays old-school ska with sweet vocals and warm, gentle horns. The songs, many of them genial ballads and jazzy instrumentals, breeze by, carefree but never insubstantial. This is an album that makes you dream of the Caribbean, or of dancing under starlight, or perhaps both...
