  1. Sally Hawkins, star of 'Happy-Go-Lucky'

    Mike Leigh's latest film, " Happy-Go-Lucky," centers on the unsinkable Poppy Cross, a teacher who tries to make everyone around her happier. It is an effort rebuffed by some, welcomed by others and at times even difficult to watch. In dealing with an unstable homeless man and a troubled driving instructor, the potential for danger hovers closely. But God apparently protects fools, children and the decidedly cheerful. Poppy walks a fine line between grating and endearing, even down to the little laugh that punctuates her sentences. For her performance, Sally Hawkins has captured critics' hearts, winning the Silver Bear for acting at the Berlin Film Festival, and a recent nomination for a British Independent Film Award. As is Leigh's method, the cast went through six months of rehearsals, creating the characters from scratch. Hawkins, a British actress who also had a small role in Leigh's "Vera Drake," talks of the process of creating her character, the unexpected hoopla that resulted and the importance of being joyful.

  6. LOOKING BACK: So, who do you think you are?

    What with TV shows devoted to celebrity genealogy and several websites offering families a way to build their family trees, many retirees decide to devote time to finding their roots. My mother was raised in Casey County, and she always said we were part Cherokee, so I investigated.

    Stephen Covey, the management guru who died this week, would have had a hard time selling his books in Benjamin Franklin's America, or Abe Lincoln's. His best seller "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" would have been considered a self-evident truth, one drummed into earlier Americans by schools, churches and the Puritan ethic.

  11. Rhubarb rising

    We love the sweet-tart combination of strawberry and rhubarb warmed in a perfectly browned crust. But this summer, rhubarb spirits are the thing, as two newly released elixirs based in the fruity root vegetable land in liquor stores. They shared the same name until one asked the other to change, but they couldn't be more different.
