Edge
All that was missing after last week’s furor over alleged racism in the Cleveland Police Department was a stash of Nazi gold and dog-eared copies of Mein Kampf jammed under squad car seats. Alas, a subsequent sweep of the sixth district police station yielded only two white-guy totems — posters of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Marilyn…

There was even a girl seen carrying a coconut. Formed in the…
Playback
Dido No Angel (Arista) As the singer in her brother Rollo’s techno band Faithless, Dido gave the often-cold music a pulse to beat by. On songs like “God Is a DJ,” she conveyed an internal warmth that was often at odds with the cyclic bpms soaring around her. It was a winning polarity, the little…
Soundbites
Pacing the sidewalk, a Pizza Hut at his back, George Harouvis cuts a strange figure. It’s 11 p.m. on a Friday at Detroit and 117th, and Harouvis looks like a prom king. He’s a big, handsome man in tuxedo pants, vest, and bow tie. But what prom king — or valet, for that matter —…
