...Step Brothers is the latest chapter in Ferrell's exploration of the man who is not nearly as cool as he thinks he is. (That's a figure familiar for decades through Bob Hope and Steve Martin films, and in TV shows like Get Smart.)

The new movie also explores the comic notion of man-child that goes back...
...Freedom Brigade "The (Not So) Lunatic Fringe" by Nathan Thornburgh was a refreshingly honest and straightforward report on Libertarians [July 21].

Very nice crew indeed, but really, aren't benefit concerts wearing a trifle thin? ''Everyone wanted us to go away after Live Aid,'' concedes Bono, an unquenchable Irishman. ''The music industry would be delighted to get back to packaging us like perfume commercials.'' But the pull...
...17th holes on Sunday - the latter of which set up an eagle that put him out of reach - were Normanesque in their distance and unwavering accuracy. But even the primary practitioner of modern golf couldn't overcome Harrington's ability to fuse flawless technique with sunny implacability. Sports psychologist Bob Rotella - who reportedly stayed in Harrington's house this whole week of the Open - says the key to golf is to enjoy the journey rather than obsessing over its outcome. Harrington seems to have taken that to heart...
