| | | Legendary Tornado Chaser Tim Samaras's Last Ride BY BRANTLEY HARGROVE  Before it came for him, Dan Robinson watched the thing grow. It began as a bolus that descended out of the storm, projecting needle-like vortices that lanced the wheat fields. Columnar towers 100 yards wide gathered and darkened against the pale light, unspooling into wispy coronas that moved across the prairie beneath the two-and-a-half-mile-wide wall cloud above. It was a little after 6 p.m. on May 31. Dozens of storm chasers were navigating back roads beneath a swollen mesocyclone that had brought an early dusk to the remote farm country southwest of El Reno, Oklahoma.

The fact is, Hanna, former leader of the 1990s Riot Grrl queen-makers Bikini Kill, laughs her radiant laugh quite a bit and is quick with a joke, even about the pain, exhaustion, and seizures that have befallen her since she was diagnosed with Lyme Disease—Kierkegaard's The Sickness Unto De... more >> | | | | | | After 20 Years, the Most Authentic Key Lime Pies Are Still Made in Red Hook BY BELLE CUSHING  The claim to having the best Key lime pie is one made by many, but you want to believe Steve Tarpin when he says his are the real deal—mostly because it's clear he wouldn't give a damn if you disagree. Steve is the owner of Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pies, and he does make a mean one. With a graham cracker crust and the telltale yellow filling made with real Key limes, the pies are sweet, u... more >> | | | | | | I Declare War's Heroes and Villains Are Kids, but Its Truths Are Adult BY ALAN SCHERSTUHL  The most revealing film ever made about kids and the appeal of violent fantasy isn't Battle Royale or an adaptation of Lord of the Flies. It's the shot-for-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark that a couple of Mississippi buddies put together over the course of their adolescence. Every punch thrown by this wee Indiana Jones is scored with the fully Foleyed crack of the original film. Between s... more >> | | | | | | | | America First: MOMA's Homegrown Modernism BY R. C. BAKER  Although the Museum of Modern Art garnered prestige (and occasional derision) by bringing such European exemplars as Picasso, Cézanne, and van Gogh to the New World, the institution did not forsake homegrown talent, including the 50-plus artists gathered in this survey of American Modernism from 1915 to 1950. The wall label for Edward Hopper's Night Windows (1928) claims that the scantily... more >> | | | | | | Runnin' Scared Handy with a camera? Have a knack for capturing the news?
