July 13 - July 20, 1998
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
his week there's a damn crazy quilt of topics and articles
in Art & Leisure!
What? You need examples here? Okay. First off, Memphis
Flyer's Meredith Pierce brings us to "Barbie Nation: An Unauthorized Tour," the PBS documentary airing this week. Filmmaker Susan Stern has apparently done an amazing job detailing the history and social impact of what is probably the most successful doll in modern
history.
Kim Mellen of the Austin Chronicle is on a Road Trip
of the Third Kind when she visits Roswell, New Mexico in I Am Going
to Outer Space. Meanwhile, Memphis Flyer writer, Elizabeth
Lemond travels to learn to love rodeo in Sitting Bull & Crazy Horse.
America's place in the sport of soccer and World Cup "fever"
(or lack thereof) is again addressed in two articles. Weekly
Alibi's Devin D. O'Leary reports on WWW sites with a decidedly
"summer" theme: barbecue.
Speaking of food, Austin's Pableaux Johnson presents a list
and short review of scientifically-slanted cook books--ones that explain the "why" as much as the "how." Look into Culinary Laboratory.
