The Wrap finds a home on Main St.

By Marta Darby | February 19, 2004

The Wrap, which opened its doors Feb. 14, fills a much-needed niche in Hanover's dining scene. With healthy and varied options, ranging from Thai fare to the classic Caesar salad, there is only one catch -- nearly everything on the menu must be wrapped or tossed in a bowl. With speedy service, a friendly staff and a made-to-order style, The Wrap invites customers to unwind.

Subtle changes in Jones' sound mark 'Home'

By Daniel Colvard | February 18, 2004

Norah Jones can capture a mood, and "Feels Like Home," Jones' sophomore album on Blue Note Records, feels just as comfortable as her first release, "Come Away With Me." Jones's new album sounds just a shade to the Nashville side of her former release, with guests Dolly Parton, Band alumni Levon Helm and Garth Hudson and Tony Scherr (who also played slide guitar in "Lonestar" on Jones' previous album) occasionally turning up the twang, but not to the point where it's that much different than her debut. If anything, "Feels Like Home" may be a homecoming of sorts for Jones, who grew up in the country music-filled air of Dallas, Texas.

Salzer '04 looks to turn Hanover from drab to fab

By Rebecca Leffler | February 9, 2004

Let's be honest: Dartmouth is hardly the fashion capital of the world. North Face jackets and oversized sweatshirts are more ubiquitous than a C- in a chemistry class, and many students still think an "ugg" is the sound one utters when slipping on a patch of ice.

Frenn's Hop exhibition sparks controversy

By Mignon Lamia | February 5, 2004

The Hopkins Center curates new art exhibits all the time, but rarely has one spawned the strong reactions and growing discussion as the paintings of Chawky Frenn shown in the Upper Jewitt Corridor by the Courtyard Caf. Reactions among the student body as a whole have been mixed, but what some deem the controversial nature of the images has led in general to more discussion among the students than shows previously hung in the corridor have.

'Lateral Thinking' showcases '90s art

By Alison Schmauch | January 27, 2004

Upon entering the Hood Museum of Art's new exhibition of art from the 1990s, titled "Lateral Thinking," one is tempted to conclude, "Art today is abstract and conceptual." An arrangement of mostly peach-tinted tiles on one wall near the entrance -- Byron Kim's 1994 "Synecdoche" -- represents the skin tones of the members of the board of the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego. It didn't require a lot of technical skill to create "Synecdoche." As any skeptic about modern art would note, it hardly requires Rembrandt's talent to paint a series of squares in flesh tones. But for all its apparent simplicity, "Synecdoche" does raise a series of complicated questions. Why create such a work?

Weinberg drums up support for Kerry in Hanover

By Lindsay Barnes | January 26, 2004

Most senior members of a successful organization are known to their bosses by titles like "executive vice president," "assistant general manager" or "deputy to the chairman." Max Weinberg's boss, "The Boss," calls him by the name of "Minister of the Big Beat and Star of Late Night Telly-vision, The Mighty, Mighty Max Weinberg!" Of course, when he's not on the road with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, he has another boss: late night television host Conan O'Brien. But recently, Weinberg has found himself working for yet another big name, Sen.
