'Scooby-Doo' on top of the heap
Once again, Jesus drops a place in the box office charts, but this week it's because filmgoers have found a tasty treat to replace the host -- a Scooby Snack. The vegetarian snacks have sweetened theaters around the nation as Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and that lovable pup named Scooby Doo run away from monsters onto the big screen for the sequel to 2002's success, Scooby-Doo.
 

UH alumnus lives his dream
Pavan Grover has done pretty well for himself in the medical field. He is a surgeon specializing in pain management, has debated Dr. Jack Kervorkian's lawyer on Larry King Live and has received an award of recognition from the Clinton administration for the work he has done in his practice. Even after all that, however, Grover had yet to fulfill his real dream.
 

'Crown' gives candid peek into culture
On Main Street, nestled between Berry and Holman Streets, lies one of the city's most delightful gems, The Ensemble Theatre. The late George Hawkins founded the magical playhouse that has showcased an array of situations handled by blacks in real life without losing the enchantment of theater.

If a band from Detroit saves rock 'n' roll, it won't be one that dresses like a candy cane.
