...Inaugural gala, a Super Bowl half-time spectacle, a TV chat with Oprah that conveyed to tens of millions the impression that he was just a regular guy who was dating Brooke Shields -- but then came the summer of disaster. Charges of child molestation, criminal inquiries, an abandoned world tour, lawsuits, drug addiction, a bizarre disappearance and mysterious return have brought real- world, grownup horror to the owner of Neverland Ranch -- horror he eventually had to confront. In a four-minute televised statement broadcast around the world from Neverland last week, Jackson, voice quivering, called the sexual-abuse allegations ''disgusting...
Alan Hollinghurst does not expect to be understood. In Chicago, the previous stop on a promotional tour of his 2004 novel “The Line of Beauty,” his audience was reduced to six when the book discussion conflicted with a White Sox game. And at the outset, this final stop in Cambridge portends another embarrassing disconnect between author and reader: “a gay British guy and a straight American teenager walk into a café” (Algiers, to be precise) sounds more like a weak joke than the convening of kindred spirits...
...stage dynamism got Boston’s Paradise Rock Club jumping like a joyous street party. As the audience sang along to a sonic hodgepodge mixing rocked-up Moby with early 1990s rap, The Go!

...erudition and scope, Illicit has one vexing flaw: its lack of substantial original research. Na?m is an armchair tour guide, relying mostly on well-worn news stories and official reports. For a book on the underground trade in sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, Illicit is disappointingly dry. The climax is not a memorable glimpse inside a smuggling ring, but a raft of policy suggestions such as better coordination among government agencies and improved international cooperation?hardly page-turning stuff. Still, Na?m succeeds in presenting a clear account of how illicit commerce works and what its consequences are. In doing...
