The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Kathryn Nurre, a former student at Henry M. Jackson High School. Nurre, who was a senior in 2006, wanted to play "Ave Maria" — Hail Mary in Latin — with the band's wind ensemble at the graduation. Administrators raised red flags at the Everett, Wash., school when they heard about the idea from the wind ensemble seniors, who had played Franz Biebl's uptempo 1964 rendering of "Ave Maria" without controversy at a winter concert.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Mar 2010 14:37:20 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Review: Topping Leaves Nothing Out Of Memoir]]></title><guid>http://cbs5.com/wireapentertainment/Review.Former.New.2.1579775.html</guid><link>http://cbs5.com/wireapentertainment/Review.Former.New.2.1579775.html</link><description><![CDATA["On the Front Lines of the Cold War: An American Correspondent's Journal From the Chinese Civil War to the Cuban Missile Crisis and Vietnam" (LSU, 397 pages, $39.95), by Seymour Topping: A former editor of The New York Times sits down to write his memoir and the title alone runs 24 words. But what else, one might ask, was a reporter with Topping's breadth and depth of experience to do? Topping, who retired as managing editor of the Times in 1987, needed a lot of words for a long-awaited personal account of the 4 1/2 decades he spent holding hands with history. As suggested by the basic title, "On the Front Lines of the Cold War," Topping — or "Top," as he is known to longtime associates — was a witness to some of the most crucial events of the last half of the 20th century.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Mar 2010 12:12:10 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Timothy Olyphant Is A Lawman In A 'Justified' Hit]]></title><guid>http://cbs5.com/wireapentertainment/Timothy.Olyphant.is.2.1579694.html</guid><link>http://cbs5.com/wireapentertainment/Timothy.Olyphant.is.2.1579694.html</link><description><![CDATA[Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens has a great walk. A moseying, unconcerned kind of walk that signals his style of dealing with the world. He's supercool under pressure. Even staring down the barrel of a bad guy's gun, Givens tosses the dilemma back on the other man, as if to say: Stop your foolishness before you make your problems worse. Such is the surface ease and, yes, inner turmoil of Givens, hero of the new FX drama "Justified."

After the huge success of the "Rings" series, Jackson is now working on adapting the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy novel that takes place before the trilogy. But this time the Oscar-winning New Zealand filmmaker is producing and working on the script, relinquishing directing duties to Del Toro, whose credits include "Pan's Labyrinth" and the two "Hellboy" movies. Longtime Jackson collaborator, art designer Richard Taylor, says he thinks his friend gave up the director's chair "probably because he's spent so long in Middle Earth ... and probably felt a director such as Guillermo could bring something passionate and unique and original and new to the content for the sake of the fans," referring to the imaginary world where the novels are set.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Mar 2010 08:54:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[CBS Says Five Minutes With Woods Not Enough]]></title><guid>http://cbs5.com/wireapentertainment/CBS.says.it.2.1579296.html</guid><link>http://cbs5.com/wireapentertainment/CBS.says.it.2.1579296.html</link><description><![CDATA[CBS turned down an interview with Tiger Woods after being told the network would be limited to five minutes of questions.
