My phone rings and it’s Chae Hawk on the line. He’s calling to tell me that he spent the night in jail. This isn’t the usual type of phone call I get from the Buffalo rapper. He usually calls to tell me about his latest music video or single, but this time is obviously different. He had reached a breaking point.

La Belle Époque is usually thought of, in the history of France, as the period extending from the aftermath of the violent overthrow of the Paris Commune in 1871 to the 1914 outbreak of World War I. But, more generally, since World War I is the defining event in the 20th-century history of European civilization, the artistic achievements of that era continue to have a resounding effect on contemporary culture.

Recently, actor Robert Redford produced, narrated, appeared in, and probably had a hand in directing a television documentary about the Watergate burglary and Nixon White House coverup.

If you want to focus in on one, just one, seminal moment that is the microcosm of this awful season of Buffalo Sabres hockey, just look at last Friday’s game at home against the New York Rangers, an 8-4 loss that officially eliminated Buffalo from postseason contention.

The Maple Leaf nation rightly savors its defense of itself in the War of 1812. It may not like to be reminded that a US land-naval force made a week-long bitch out of Toronto.

Here’s how The New York Times felt about it: “There are a few, but only a very few, passages that bear recognizable kinship with what has hitherto been considered music.”
