Today,…

Rush and Steely Dan have nothing and everything in common. They each specialize in technically daunting recordings that other musicians envy; they’ve both recorded great songs about the emptiness of the suburbs (“Subdivisions” and “Deacon Blues”). Their lyrics are anomalously cerebral for rock, usually in very different ways, though Donald Fagen and Walter Becker‘s line about the chess piece in “Dirty Work” (“like a castle in its corner in a medieval game”) could easily be Neil Peart’s. Rush’s musical complexity leaned towards proggy adventures with time signatures and song structure, while Steely Dan were more inclined to wedge wild stacks of…
The Purdue Boilermakers face the Minnesota Golden Gophers at home in a Big 10 showdown Saturday in a Week 6 college football matchup on Big Ten Network.Minnesota did something last week it hadn’t done since 1977: beat Michigan at home.

The Stone Age owes its name to tools that survived to our time. The material early humans worked with most, though, was probably wood because it is so much easier to process. Unfortunately, we know very little about Paleolithic woodwork because wood rots relatively quickly. But at Abric Romaní, a rock shelter in Capellades, west of Barcelona, mineral-rich water coated wooden Neanderthal tools in a limestone-like crust. When wood rotted away, it left behind hollow molds that faithfully reflect its shape. In a recent Science Advances study, a team of Spanish archaeologists has cataloged 597 wooden remains from Neanderthal living…
In the months leading up to the end of the American Civil War, Frederick Douglass spoke at the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society’s annual meeting in Boston about what would remain after the rebellion was defeated. “That enmity will not die out in a year,” he warned. “It will not die out in an age.” In Ava DuVernay’s new documentary “14th,” constitutional law expert Sherrilyn Ifill recalls Douglass’ words from his speech “What the Black Man Wants.” A distinguished attorney, Howard University law professor and former head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Ifill is the closest thing the film has to…
