GREAT MOVIES | OPINION: Hitchcock’s ‘North by Northwest’ screens Tuesday at Ron Robinson Theater | Arkansas Democrat Gazette (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are movies we preserve because we have decided they are important, embalming them in restorations and anniversary editions and placing them reverently on lists. And then there are movies that keep running under their own power. Alfred Hitchcock’s “North by Northwest,” which the CALS Ron Robinson Theater will show Tuesday as part of its Hitchcocktoberfest series, belongs to the second category. It does not ask to be admired as a relic of 1959. It still wants to entertain us, and it goes abo

What does ‘amateur’ mean in the age of NIL and college sports revenue sharing? | Arkansas Democrat Gazette (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was a time when we thought we knew what an amateur is. He is the guy who doesn't get paid. Or, more accurately, the guy who isn't supposed to get paid.

RECORDINGS | OPINION: Four records with a little persistence in common | Arkansas Democrat Gazette (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The records considered here have little in common but persistence. Five Norwegian women keep playing rock 'n' roll long after the fantasy could have yielded to sensible shoes; two bluesmen return on vinyl decades after their deaths, one as companionable as a kitchen radio and the other as ominous as a dead-eyed doctor; and Dan + Shay begin to wonder what happens after "forever" makes good on its promise.
CRITICAL MASS | OPINION: Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr and the enduring mystery of hitting | Arkansas Democrat Gazette (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everything becomes fascinating if somebody who has spent his life thinking about it begins to talk. Cheese, carburetors, 17th-century Dutch painting, the migratory habits of shorebirds.

What looks simple from across the room acquires hidden chambers, unresolved arguments, distinctions that seem ridiculous until someone explains why they matter.
