FRONT OF BOOK Letters: Didn't read.... Last Days: Once again,
The Stranger's only column with a shred of moral fiber. Exceptionally well-written....
NEWS The Stranger's primary election endorsements, a supposedly useful guide, is marred by the unfortunate gimmick of humiliating the candidates with photos from their high-school years. Why do so many politically minded people in Seattle take
The Stranger so seriously?....
SHORT FEATURE A pleasant profile of an important new establishment. One complaint: Why such a short word count? Two full pages would have been preferable....
FEATURE Shockingly good, professionally researched, and surprisingly readable (for
The Stranger, anyway). Kudos....
FILM A review that marks a return to form for Film Editor Sean Nelson: pretentious, agonizingly long-winded, recklessly egotistical....
BOOKS A brisk, smart profile of a local author....
ART None....
THEATER Three short reviews/skimmed....
CHOW Didn't read....
MUSIC Three previews of upcoming shows, with "Kelly O"'s standing out. Her honest, engaging article is a definite breath of fresh air in an increasingly stale section of the paper....
ETC. It's My Party: Didn't read....Celeb I Saw U: Too gay.... I Love TV: Mr. Humphrey's diatribe on "hillbillies" is neither funny nor original. Perhaps it is time to put him out to pasture?.... Savage Love: Unable to muster interest in reading this week.... Obits: Didn't read.
