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.
