...Hemingway had met Robert Twigger on the road, he would probably have beaten him up and taken his per diem. The shy, scholarly Twigger's The Extinction Club (William Morrow; 222 pages) is about the elusive Pere David's deer, an anatomical cocktail of an animal with backward-facing horns, a long, thick camel neck and a donkey's tail. For centuries the only Pere David's in the world lived in a walled park outside Beijing, where they were hunted exclusively by the Emperor of China, until an enterprising missionary (the eponymous Pere) smuggled a few specimens...
...Canadian Open. After a year of illness, just being able to play means Morariu is already a winner. FORMULA ONE Another Race, Another Win The great thing about sport is unpredictability. Unless you have your shirt riding on it, there is no better fun than seeing the favorite beaten. Watching the sublime Tiger Woods struggling against the elements at Muirfield fed the need among the rest of us to know that nobody's perfect.

Land redistribution has been marred by violence. Government-sponsored thugs have beaten and killed white farmers and black farm workers...
...Options The days of legendary heavyweight title fights seem like a rumble from the past, and the current champion, Lennox Lewis, appears to have been struck by the same apathy that has taken hold of the public in recent years. With Mike Tyson reduced to the sideshow ranks - decisively beaten by Lewis in June - there are few characters or worthy challengers to fire the imagination enough to justify those hefty pay-per-view fees. In fact, Lewis is so bored he may retire - unless of course the price is right. He told the London Observer: "What else is there...
