As the spring sun chips away at the ice on the Yahara Lakes, fishers have been steadily pulling dinner from beneath the glistening surface.
\The Jacket"" begins with a reminder of ""Three Kings"" before giving way to ""12 Monkeys"" and a little bit of ""Slaughterhouse-Five."" With kaleidoscopic images, a time-traveling soldier and the bulk of its screentime in a mental institution, ""The Jacket"" is sometimes too fragmented to easily follow. However, it maintains a balance of equally disturbed lead characters and a steady built-in pace that provides a well-earned payoff in the final minutes.
The New Yorker is finding its way out of its home metropolis with a visit to UW-Madison. The magazine is stepping out as part of its college tour for three days of conversation, panels and entertainment.
The curtain has come down on the record-setting \Phantom of the Opera"" show here in Madison. In an astonishing success for the fledgling Overture Center for the Arts, ""Phantom"" packed in 26 shows in 32 days and moved an estimated 67,000 attendees through the Overture Center. With two-thirds of the tickets costing approximately $60, the show's $3 million in sales is a testament to the economic force this new addition to Madison offers.
\Alone in the Dark"" is ghastly. It is on a level of amazingly unabashed wretchedness that is reserved for other regrettable science fiction debacles like ""Battlefield Earth"" and ""Space Truckers."" However, while films like those will take their place in the halls of kitsch and camp, ""Alone in the Dark"" has only obscurity and the collective groans of thousands of disgusted viewers to mark its existence.

Where in Madison can you find a stretch of stores that includes Chin's and Qdoba within walking distance of each other?
\Gilead,"" by Marilynne Robinson, is the novel that is the capstone of the literary year. It was a long time coming and will be remembered for even longer, marking Robinson's second work of fiction as another American classic. Twenty-three years ago, Robinson's ""Housekeeping"" awed readers with its quiet brilliance and entered her name into the canon of writers to watch. The steady gaze of her devout fans has been rewarded with ""Gilead.""
I remember the blooming orchard and the endless acres. I remember the plump carrots and enough hay to bury a village. I remember the maple grove being a place of abundance and the creek down the dirt road never being short of fish.
IOWA CITY, Iowa-When the Badgers (6-2 Big Ten, 9-2 overall) lost 30-7 to the Iowa Hawkeyes (7-1, 9-2) Saturday, they lost more than a Big Ten championship. For days in advance, the team knew the inaugural Heartland Trophy was on the line, and they found out before taking the field that they could claim a Rose Bowl bid and the conference title outright. With everything to gain, the team lost because of a lackluster defense against Iowa's passing game, a paltry ground game and a failure to convert turnovers into points.
OK, I'll admit it. I'm not any good at predictions. About three months ago, I figured East Washington Avenue would be one big mud puddle at this point, John Kerry would win the election but not the popular vote and Paul Soglin would lead an attempted Halloween coup ending with Governor Doyle putting him in a sleeper hold in the Overture Center gravel pit. Some of my predictions have been a little more off than others.
Myles Teddywedgers, 101 State St., is the lynch pin and canary of State Street and the Capitol Square. When State Street meets its eastern end, the pie shop offers a transition from the filler-food offerings common on the 500 and 600 blocks of State Street to the sit-down-and-take-your-time ambience you'll see on the Square. Also, like a bird in a mineshaft, Myles Teddywedgers indicates the overall business health of the surrounding area.
In 1998 \Shakespeare in Love"" was awarded Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Its blend of history, clever humor and life in the theater was enough to surprise audiences by taking the Best Picture award from ""Saving Private Ryan."" It seemed as if ""Shakespeare"" required a knockoff, and it was only a matter of time before a film came along that tried to match it. ""Stage Beauty"" is that knock-off.
On Nov. 6, it all wraps up. The season ends, the vendors move indoors, winter moves in and a delicious staple of life in Madison retreats for a while.
John Updike is treading familiar ground. Of course, anyone who has written as much as well as he has can relax and repeat a few themes.
With Halloween just a few days away, many State Street bar staffs are bracing for large crowds and possibly some rowdy behavior.
The organic movement used to be a \fascist health movement,"" MaryJane Butters said in a recent article in ""The New Yorker.""
Madison is framed, and often defined by, its lakes.
One French silk pie. Twelve minutes. One trip to Perkins that didn't need to happen. One bet that finished with its only viable outcome. That pretty much sums up my weekend.
