Unlike more prestigious auto shows, it displayed mostly mammoth trucks and SUVs with few, if any, concept cars and forthcoming new vehicles.

Most University of Illinois students who performed in Harry Begian’s Symphonic Band between 1970 and 1984 will remember him for his stringent music making. His musicality and command of symphonic band literature produced performances that remain exceptional standards for America’s wind bands. Few, however, might realize that years earlier, Begian’s performances as director of both the Cass Technical High School and Wayne State University bands had an influence on Detroit’s jazz scene.

My desk drawer is a mess. It’s always a mess. Even after I tidy it up, it reverts to a mess as soon as I close the drawer. In light of the U.S. announcing it is imposing a naval blockade against Iran, what is the international law of naval blockades? Multimedia
