  4. Bruce Springsteen's minutiae on display in 'Bruce'

    In the mid-80s my high school choir director was Lena McLin, a legendary music teacher with an impressive and diverse list of mentees (R. Kelly, Mandy Patinkin, opera diva Jonita Lattimore). But Dr. McLin had little interest in rock music, so it was a surprise the day she sang the praises of Bruce Springsteen. Although unfamiliar with his music, she had heard from several sources that he was a transcendental live performer, and that kind of testimony, she told us, was something one had to accept as face value. "If this man can move people," she told us, "you have to respect that."

  12. In 'Restless,' William Boyd spies overlooked World War II chapter

    British novelist and screenwriter William Boyd doesn't buy the conventional wisdom that a writer should never adapt his own books. His long list of industry credits includes scripts based on his own work (the miniseries "Any Human Heart"), novels by the likes of Evelyn Waugh ("Scoop") and biographies ("Chaplin"). "Restless," the two-part miniseries Boyd wrote from his 2006 novel of the same name, premieres Dec. 7 on Sundance Channel.
