  2. The Tea Party -- People
    BEIJING — There was Hu Jintao, head of the Chinese Communist Party, warmly shaking hands at a party-sponsored New Year's tea party with one of the country's main Christian leaders.

  3. Gwyneth Paltrow -- Los Angeles
    Although she was born in Los Angeles, by the time she was a pre-teen, Paltrow had settled in Manhattan with her family. She spent summers watching her mother perform at the prestigious Williamstown Theatre Festival, where she eventually made her professional stage debut in 1990. Eventually mother and daughter would work together in productions of "Picnic" (1991), "The Sweet Bye and Bye" (1992) and "The Seagull" (1994). Paltrow dropped out of college after only one semester to pursue her career, landing her first screen role in the forgettable "Shout" (1991). Family friend Steven Spielberg cast her as the young Wendy in his slightly overblown "Hook" (... 1991). Ironically, she was cast first in the 1992 true crime NBC miniseries "Cruel Doubt" before her mother was tapped to play her on-screen parent.

  5. American Poetry -- Traditions
    Although Italian-American poetry began in 1805 with the arrival of Mozart's librettist, the Venetian writer Lorenzo da Ponte, it took another century and a half for enough significant authors to appear to claim the attention of the English-speaking public. The social and cultural barriers that early aspiring writers faced were enormous. Not surprisingly, few poets managed to overcome them. Most immigrants came from the destitute classes of Southern Italy. Poorly educated, often illiterate, few knew Toscano, the standard literary dialect of written Italian (based on the Florentine language of Petrarch and Boccaccio). The immigrant's literary heritage was usually confined to the lively traditions of a local dialect.

  10. Ryan Adams
    For an album named Rock N Roll, Ryan Adams's third proper solo release is a difficult and dense listening experience. It takes many repeated spins to transcend the insider rock nods to get to the point where one can enjoy this album as its own entity. Throughout this album, the consistent theme is that the much-chronicled lawman of Whiskeytown wants to leave his alt-country history behind him in the dusty south and recreate himself with his move to gleaming Apple in the north. The question remains: will his followers, critics, and money men follow?
