...auditioned and I really screwed up my audition,” she says. “I completely blanked on the monologue, but they forgave me, I suppose, and decided to give me a chance.” Last-minute cast shuffling left her with a turn as King Alonso, a meatier part than her original role as the Boatswain. Every summer from then on, Lloyd-Bollard performed in Shakespeare Under the Stars, the community theater group in her hometown of Hampshire, Mass. Arriving at Harvard, Lloyd-Bollard was more certain about her theatrical goals than about how to attain...

As a two-time world champ and McLaren's senior driver, the emotional Alonso could be excused for failing to share in the sport's enthusiasm...

"The insults to Mr. Hamilton aren't racist because they aren't insulting him for being black, they insult him for being a Formula One driver [who is] giving it to Alonso," writes one Marca reader...
