Marsalis returns, shows 'Human Nature'

By Neal Fersko · Monday, Dec. 13, 2004

Wynton Marsalis' map of accomplishment commonly runs through two points: his birthplace in New Orleans and his adopted home of New York City, where he serves as music director for Jazz at Lincoln Center. However, he maintains a special relationship with Washington, D.C., as well. In April 1997, Marsalis premiered his oratorio "Blood on the Field" in D.C., the first jazz composition to ever receive the Pulitzer Prize in music. On Friday night, this relationship bore fruit once again when Marsalis premiered his new "Suite for Human Nature" at the historic Lincoln Theatre.

By David Bergman | December 13

I had the opportunity to watch a high school basketball tournament held in Bender Arena this weekend. The teams were from various prep high schools from around the country, and former players from the same tournament include Wake Forest superstar Chris Paul and the notorious Pacers forward Ron Artest. While the tournament was fun, it was the style of play that really struck me.

Tangled Web of online and last-minute shopping

By Arienne Thompson | December 13

If you're a normal end-of-the-semester student (aka procrastinator), you probably haven't even thought about holiday shopping yet. But with only about a week until winter break, you don't have much time to knock that shopping list out. Fortunately for you, however, the wonders of technology will allow you to clear your list without ever stepping into a store. If, on the other hand, you like shopping, but can't tear yourself away from your studies, online and last-minute shopping will also be the answer to your holiday prayers.

'Spanglish' speaks up

By Jason Alredge | December 13

Want to see Adam Sandler in a more serious role? Here's your chance. Sandler proves that he's done quite a bit of growing up from comedies like "Billy Madison" and "Happy Gilmore" to his most recent role in James L. Brooks' "Spanglish." Sandler's maturity, a great cast and Brooks' writing and directing talents are what make this movie both dramatic and funny.

The Rusty Nail: The Nail turns screw final time

By Lester Russell Allen IV | December 13

Let's start things off today with some bad news: This will be my last column printed in The Eagle. No more Rusty Nails. Perhaps if I knew my job was on the line, I wouldn't have written a column that mocked my editors, but what can you do? (Actually, three semesters is a lot out of a college columnist. It's time to pass the torch.)
