...Mannings are marching toward the stretch run with their quick releases, clutch completions and superior pigskin IQ passed down from their famous father Archie, a Pro Bowl quarterback who suffered the ignominy of leading the New Orleans team in the 1970s and early '80s, when the Saints were nicknamed the Aints. The brothers "both have tremendous ability to see the field," says David Cutcliffe, the offensive coordinator at the University of Tennessee when Peyton starred there in 1994-97 and Eli's head coach at the University of Mississippi in 2000-03.

In the more than two centuries since the French republic was founded, no one else has remained in power for so long. Chirac's longevity is all the more remarkable since...
...which I would define as the big-budget pseudo-indie posing as art—is a better version of Hollywood. Occasionally oppositional, consistently satisfying, and always well put-together, Miramax’s marquee Oscar-bait productions at the very least saved us from the ’80s, in which the only films that could classify as “good” mainstream movies were overblown, revisionist historical epics like “Out of Africa.” And though their films have gotten less impressive (“Cold Mountain...
