A twist of fate

When George Bush choked on a pretzel Sunday, media outlets across the world exploded in speculation. Was this a conspiracy? Is there a cover-up? Yet we at The Voice Leisure section choose to dig deeper?we mine the pits of sound bytes and news releases that have swallowed pundit and wonk alike.

Schreifels strikes a chord

Walter Schreifels of Rival Schools is a rock star. Not in that good-looking, sings-to-the-camera, ladies’-man kind of way—although this writer finds the first to be true.

Local theater celebrates German cinema

The casual American moviegoer’s knowledge of German cinema most often begins and ends with films such as Das Boot (1981) and Run Lola Run (Lola rennt, 1998). While both films merit viewing, a thriving German film industry exists beyond Franka Potente’s shock of flame-red hair in Lola and Das Boot’s boatload of doomed submariners.
