This is high on the Richter scale
What is wrong with this picture? A family in old-fashioned swimming trunks and rubber hats poses cheerfully among the waves. It looks straightforward enough.

Rob Partridge: Head of Press at Island Records who made a legend of Bob Marley
When Bob Marley performed at the One Love Peace Concert in Kingston, Jamaica, in April 1978, forcing together the hands of the island's leading politicians, popular music finally seemed to bridge social and economic quandaries. The image of Marley flanked by the Prime Minister Michael Manley and the opposition leader Edward Seaga flashed around the world, transmogrifying the Jamaican singer ...

Sir Lewis Robertson: Industrialist and company doctor who turned around the fortunes of ailing British businesses
At any significant gathering of the great and the good in Edinburgh or Glasgow, and at many an occasion in London, a huge man, with a large face and spectacles to match would heave into the room, with a supporting crutch. This was Lewis Robertson, company director extraordinary, who, in my opinion, was both good and great. He was an industrialist in his own right, not merely a consultant; he ...

The skinny on flu shots
Here in Toronto, I'm hiding in my apartment as the temperature hovers just above zero and I'm wondering how it is that I turned out to be such a wimp when I spent my formative years in Winnipeg, the land of cold and snow and over-sized Halloween costumes fitted over snowsuits. It seems to be an annual tradition that each time the clocks change in the fall, Canadians forget how to drive, forget ...

Tom Sutcliffe: Alas, poor Chekhov, it wasn't you
I woke the other day to the sensational news that the skull which David Tennant apostrophised in his recent performance of Hamlet had belonged to the great Russian dramatist Chekhov. Sadly, this news had become considerably less sensational by the time I came to my senses. Chekhov, it turned out, was a bit of dreamwork by a still groggy mind, and the skull actually belonged to Andre ...

Songs with sting: Randy Newman coming to performing arts center
After a career that began at age 18 some 46 years ago, there probably aren?t a lot of items left on Randy Newman?s ?to-do? list. But performing in Central Illinois, we?re happy to report, is one of them. Or so we hope.
