  6. Isn't Lemony Snicket for kids?

    Children in my neighborhood were constantly being orphaned. You go out one afternoon to play, and bam! Your parents are dead in a car accident and you are forced to live in a tree fort of your own making, eating blackberries and otherwise sharpening your outdoors skills — until dinner time, when you and your similarly orphaned friends return home to miraculously resurrected families.

  8. The unsinkable Melton Mustafa

    With a bounce in his step, Melton Mustafa strode onto the stage of Miami's Joseph Caleb Auditorium. The audience at September's Sunshine Jazz Organization's 25th anniversary gala cheered warmly, as the Liberty City-raised trumpeter and bandleader took his place at the helm of the 17-piece swing machine that bears his name. This was the moment many event attendees had been awaiting. They'd come not only to celebrate the SJO's milestone, but to toast Mustafa's seemingly remarkable rebound from Stage 4 prostate cancer.

  11. Dave Brubeck dies at 91; jazz legend

    In the strait-laced Eisenhower 1950s, Dave Brubeck seemed, on one hand, deeply conventional. He didn't drink, smoke or take drugs. He favored expressions like "baloney!" and "you bet" over ruder alternatives. He had a prodigious work ethic that had been ground into him by his cowboy father on the family's California cattle ranch.
