At the tender age of 55, Gerald Williams's weather-beaten face is dotted with gray hairs. Those gray hairs are the result of a life hard lived, one that saw him playing music alongside child prodigy Little Gary Ferguson, then fall into the deepest throws of addiction with crack cocaine that...
I've eaten a fair number of parathas. The rich, buttery breads are served at countless Indian restaurants and can be delicious if they are made properly. The breads are rolled in layers with butter or ghee, a little bit like French pastry is "turned," resulting in flaky layers. Unfortunately, most places...
Anyone who's driven in Dallas for more than a few years has this experience. There you are, absent-mindedly piloting your automobile down a city street — likely one you've traversed unmolested every day for months — when you are stopped short by a peculiar sight. There, plodding across the intersecting...
Adam P. Smith stumbled into Tent City 10 months ago, soaking wet and shivering. He'd recently been released from federal prison, where he'd spent a couple of years after being picked up after a pair of ill-conceived bank robberies. (He likes to tell of how his defense attorney jiu jitsued...

Of all the generic pop-rock bands that dominated the airwaves in the 1990s, Sister Hazel was one of the most successful. In 1997, you couldn't go more than about five minutes without hearing "All for You," the year's most popular song and Sister Hazel's biggest hit. You're probably unaware of...
If the status of the Dallas Police and Fire System weren't so dire, it might be amusing. The retirement plan, facing an unfunded liability somewhere north of $1 billion, faces a lawsuit filed by a group of real estate advisers that was helping the fund pick properties as it dug...
Abdullah Dahduli wants to say "Hello." You see, Abdullah, or Aye-D as he is known in the musical world, is a Muslim-American — he's also an ethnic Palestinian, a proud Texan and an Aries. Over the span of his 29-year existence, Aye-D has witnessed countless attacks on his friends, family...
Randi Silverman didn’t know if her son Tim would make it to adulthood. At just 9 years old, he was so anxious that he said he didn’t want to live and resisted leaving their house in Westchester, New York. Without any known trauma to explain his behavior, Silverman turned to...

A laugh comes at last just before the end credits of Robert Eggers' lit-class horror-bummer The Witch: a boastful note attesting to the documentary truthfulness of the dialogue in the movie we've just seen. Over 90 minutes that prove shriekiness is no impediment to ponderousness, we've beheld the harrowing of...
An admirably complex tale of time travel, corporate espionage and high emotions you'll just have to take everyone's word on, Jacob Gentry's science-fiction puzzler Synchronicity is so ambitious — and so canny, on occasion — that you might be willing to forgive its indie infelicities. The acting is iffy, especially...
The first place the mind wandered following the death of Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia was, for a lot of people, conspiracy. Even the Observer was not immune. The second obvious place, especially for those who live in Texas, was the effect the jurist's death might have on Whole...

Dallas artist Jeff Zilm is engaged in a quest to determine the role art can play in a world riddled with images: what meaning can it possibly have to offer a world over-saturated with visual stimuli? Specifically, Zilm has his eye on the technology of film and how the medium...
This much should be said for Ted Cruz: At least he's paying attention. Rather than largely dodging the issue, as his fellow GOP frontrunners Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have done, Cruz has taken time this week to both lambaste all levels of Michigan government and actually do something about...

Going to prison isn’t usually the best start for a bright future. Mass incarceration has resulted in hundreds of thousands of non-violent drug offenders that crowd jails and lack access to basic services that could lead to rehabilitation. But for Brooke Humphries, prison was, in fact, a blessing in disguise...
Chrissy Perez wrestles with an American flag in the middle of a woods that borders a middle-class neighborhood in Denton. She’s been struggling with it for several minutes, trying to position it in front of her tent encampment, one that is not filled with trash like some of the other...
Since the beginning of December, Dallas Fire and Rescue has received more than 200 calls to deal with people who are, apparently, on one of the many substances colloquially known as K2. In media reports, the calls are often said to be addressing overdoses, but the behavior described often also...
