belies her comic material, in which she deals with other controversial topics like racism, abortion, death, scatology and child abuse, among others. Silverman, a New Hampshire native, has two other sisters: Susan Silverman-Abramowitz, a rabbi and author of Jewish Family & Life: Traditions, Holidays and Values for Today's Parents and Children, and screenwriter Jody Speyer. Love Story Humorist, journalist, food maven, author of numerous books, writer for the New Yorker and columnist for the Nation, Jewish wordsmith Calvin Trillin makes an appearance in Ann Arbor 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 7, at Borders Downtown, 612 E. Liberty. He will discuss and sign copies of About Alice, his tribute to his late wife, a teacher, writer, mother and Trillin's muse. She died of heart failure Sept. 11, 2001. Originally published in the New • Catering available at all locations Yorker in a shorter form, About Alice is not an account of grief but a cel- ebration of a rewarding life. Most of all, it is a love story. Trillin, now 71, brought his blend of self-deprecating humor and thought- ful observation to another affection- ate — and affecting — memoir, Messages from My Father, about his late father, Abe Trillin. Abram Trilinsky immigrated to St. Joseph, Mo., from Russia at the age of 2. In Messages, Trillin wrote, "What strikes me as odd now is how much my father managed to get across with- out those heart-to-hearts that I've read about fathers and sons having!' But his father's ambitions for him, though never directly expressed, were always clear. "It was a given in our family that my father was a grocer so that I wouldn't have to be:' wrote the Kansas City-bred, Yale-educated Trillin.

He is very good looking (6 foot-1-inch and muscular) and bears quite a resemblance to Kevin Federline, Spears' soon-to-be ex-husband. Cohen's comments on his My Space page indicate that he's vapid enough for "party girl" Britney. He lists his inter- ests as "living, duuurtt bikes, 4 Wheelin', kung fu flicks, rappin', slappin', tappin'. Ya know?!!?" Spears and As for religion, Cohen Cohen says his favorite book is the Bible. Before you conclude he is a nice Jewish boy, I should men- tion that the hunky model strongly implies that he uses its pages to roll marijuana joints. Can you say, "Oy"? That being said, don't add a "gevalt" – because Mr. Cohen and Ms. Spears are almost certainly an item with a short shelf life. By this time next month, Spears will prob- ably have moved on to another pretty white boy who adopts the look of a bad-boy black rap singer.

I had Henry Rollins an amazing time. "Having been here and experi- enced the people here in Israel and loving it, it personally grieves me to see all this pain. "Too bad that we're not at a point where this can be settled, but I think some day we will be. It's just too bad that kids are fighting their grandfathers' wars every year." 4 l" .t . r lit il c1 AD FULL 5LRVICE CATERINCi wt•.I Di(M)mpttrit , 0441:-. ;‘-✓ ii a?: Pi.e“,e ■ 248=-538- ► 000 r 25 Sieqet% peel : 342 E.
