Boleyn book keeps head

(01/18/07 5:00am)

Best-selling author Philippa Gregory is at it again with The Boleyn Inheritance, her latest historical fiction piece about the life of an English courtier. Like the book's successful predecessors The Other Boleyn Girl and The Constant Princess, The Inhertance chronicles the court of Britain's King Henry VIII. This time, Gregory explores Henry's later years, when he was married to Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard, his fourth and fifth wives, respectively.

In the 28 years since he released his last pop-folk album, Cat Stevens has changed his religion and his name (he now goes by the moniker Yusuf Islam) and has been put on the government's no-fly list. However, his music hasn't evolved nearly as much as his persona. His new LP, An Other Cup, exudes the same quality as the music our parents grew fond of during the '70s. The album is easy-listening-great for a car ride or a Sunday morning soundtrack while lounging around, reading the paper and drinking coffee.

Editor's note

Welcome to the ninth volume of recess. Over the last couple of years, recess has improved by leaps and bounds, and I know we will be able to continue on that path with this year's talented staff. Our vision for recess is to continue to provide provocative and relative stories while beginning to create a multi-dimensional relationship with our readers. In order to achieve ours goals, we are making several changes to the pages of recess--like giving every album and movie review a one-to-five-star rating.
