At the IFC, Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary<\/em> is playing. What a documentary. Coltrane\u2019s ability as a composer, musician and good husband and father are celebrated by family and friends. He absorbed Christianity and practiced charity. His music reflected this. \u201cAlabama” was his piece written to honor four black girls killed by racists. He travelled to Japan to play for the Japanese. What a guy. He\u2019s been declared a saint by a \u00a0San Francisco Church. I find the concept creepy but who cares?<\/p>\n

On Memorial Day a friend and I walked around the beautiful, deserted, rainy Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. We were in the Japanese Gardens and Shakespeare\u2019s Garden.<\/p>\n

The Met\u2019s exhibit of Chinese Art of the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 B. C. – A. D. 22) wasn\u2019t crowded but it was dark. The lack of light added to the mysterious, foreign atmosphere. How did the farm animal ceramics survive? Military figures and their chariots abound. Since it\u2019s on the second floor I walked down the stairs to the Great Hall. For the first time I noticed the benefactors plaques that hang on the stairway walls. Each plaque is dated in Roman numerals The first: MDCCCLXX-MCMXX (1870-1920) has a list of the rich and powerful men of that era: Joseph Pulitzer, Benjamin Altman, among others. Other luminaries on other plaques include Junius S. Morgan, J. Pierpont Morgan, John Jacob Astor and Ira Gershwin.<\/p>\n

Nine-year-old Dana is the only witness who overhears three people fighting with George Lopez, the soon to be stabbed Windsor School kitchen worker. Who can she tell? Her mother who never listens or accuses her of lying? Her father who\u2019s started a new family in Singapore? She tells Millie.<\/h1>\n

Something\u2019s eating at NYPD Det. Steve Kulchek: a failed marriage? surviving a car bomb? his girlfriend marrying his corrupt boss? screwing up an important case? It doesn\u2019t matter because he\u2019s relentless.<\/h1>\n
