| Chris Burke, who is best known for
his role as Corky Thatcher on the television series "Life Goes
On," spoke about living with Down syndrome Oct. 24 in Winona
State University’s Somsen Auditorium.
ABOVE: Burke makes the sign language symbol meaning "I love
you" during one of the songs he and his friends, John and Joe
DeMasi, performed. |

|
| When Chris Burke was born with
Down syndrome, doctors told his parents his future looked grim. They
said he’d never read, write or maybe even talk and advised Burke’s
parents to put him in an institution. |

this year is going to be rousing. |

| Music review |
| Radiohead’s
‘Kid A’ doesn’t follow standard prototype |
| Mark Liedel |
| Music Reviewer |
|
| Upon opening the new Radiohead CD,
"Kid A," one might notice the dense booklet of the CD
jacket. Don’t expect to find linear notes explaining the songs or
any printing of the songs’ lyrics. The pages in the dense booklet
contain several pieces of artwork that unfold into more artwork that
folds out into more artwork. The artwork
looks how the album sounds: Cold Tolkienesque landscapes of light
fields and dark skies, punctuated by fire and jagged shapes. |

write this column, I knew I probably wouldn’t be too popular with
some people. My brain is an interesting mechanism. |

| Pasta:
The un-American, all-American staple |
| Missy Teff |
| Food Columnist |
|
| It may not have
originated in America, but I bet you’d be able to find it in every
major grocery store in the United States. A major player in the
bread, cereal and friends group, pasta can
be a cheap, tasty and healthy alternative to microwave meals. |
