...there it was—the movie’s climactic final scene. The pitcher facing the final batter. The hometown crowd cheering for the David against the dominant Goliath. The tension built as Mussina worked the count to one ball and two strikes. With one more strike, Mussina would list his name alongside some of the game’s greatest pitchers and the Yankees would mob him on the mound...
...cuisine is alive and well on the ground floor of the quaint (and air-conditioned) Old Siam shopping mall, bordered by Triphet, Burapa and Charoen Krung in west Chinatown. Women in traditional Thai dress use original recipes and equipment to create popular standards such as khanom krob (coconut milk batter poured into tiny cast-iron molds and steamed), khanom beung (taco-like shells with sweet and savory fillings) and khanom thuay (tapioca flour and coconut milk steamed in porcelain cups).

I either say to him as a postscript thought, or think silently to myself, "They should have a net out there...
...arch-Archie is Alf Garnett, a spiteful, bitter dockside worker in "Till Death Us Do Part," the model for "Family." The fathers of Sanford and son are Steptoe and son, on the BBC series of the same name, a pair of cockney rag and bone men who batter themselves and each other relentlessly against a dead end of life. Both Yorkin and Lear adaptations follow the same recipe: take one BBC show, add the milk of human kindness and stir for 30 minutes. "One of our major concerns was not to make Sanford look too grim," says Yorkin. "The Steptoe...
