Bradley strikes a chord across N.H.

By Lindsay Barnes | November 24, 2003

If the most a songwriter can hope to do with his art is to create something that resonates with the listener, then Chris Bradley '92 is one of the most successful songwriters in New England today.

"When I was thinking about writing it, I thought 'Gosh it'd be great to have sort of a song that would buoy people up in a strange way and be a cheerleader for people from New Hampshire,'" Bradley recalled in an interview with The Dartmouth.

Wyclef can't silence Fugees question with latest LP

By John Kim | November 18, 2003

"Are the Fugees ever getting back together?" Wyclef Jean must have gotten tired of this question at least five years ago, but ultimately, he only has himself to blame for the persistence of the question. Until his solo work begins to accurately reflect the extent of his considerable talents, he will never be able to escape the shadow of the influential hip-hop supergroup to which he is inextricably linked. At his peak, Wyclef's gifts were undeniable.

Phillips recalls film's golden age

By Rebecca Leffler | November 10, 2003

"I specialized in bitches," announced Kate Phillips, formerly known as Kay Linaker, as she addressed a group of students and faculty in Wilson Hall last Friday. Phillips, who just celebrated her 90th birthday, is just as well-spoken and poised as she was back in her prime when she starred in over 50 Hollywood films in the 1930s and 40s. Some of her most memorable turns on the screen were in "Buck Benny Rides Again," "Young Mr. Lincoln" and some of the "Charlie Chan" mystery films. She has acted alongside such luminaries as Henry Fonda, Jack Benny, Bing Crosby and Sonja Henie.
