Updike didn’t only take on The Crimson, though. One 1953 rhyme he penned for the magazine begins, “Old Advocate, once you were famous and staid, / But Now, both obscene and sub-standard; / For thus you are called by printers appalled, / Who never should bother to read what they’re paid / To print: we say you are slandered...
...into the Morrissey universe arrived last week, when he released his first album in seven years, the (moderately) optimistic You Are the Quarry. But Morrissey knows that it will probably be the same group of hard-core wallowers crowding the register at record stores. That doesn't bother him much, in part because being Mr. Misery is a pretty good gig. (Quarry will probably enter in the Top 10, and his most recent solo tour sold out in--no joke--5 min.) He also knows he has done plenty to earn the title. As lead singer of the legendary...
...been preserved. Don't just be right; that's boring. Make an impression! Hector (Richard Griffiths), the boys' huge, studiously eccentric English teacher, doesn't care where they end up, doesn't believe in the utility of literature. "Useless Knowledge," that's his passion, "the department of Why Bother?" The boys know Larkin's and Auden's and Hardy's poems by heart. But Hector also encourages them to sing Gracie Fields songs, to enact scenes from '40s film romances and, in a hilarious set piece, to polish their French by improvising an encounter in a brothel.

Brittle bones can be more than just a bother for anyone who is getting on in years. About 10 million Americans have osteoporosis--a gradual thinning of the bones--and 1.5 million of them will suffer a fracture this year. That's why doctors were so interested in a pair of studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine last week on the relationship between osteoporosis and a common amino acid called homocysteine. Not only do the reports suggest an easy way to determine early on who is most vulnerable to osteoporosis, but they also hint at a totally...
...record in his last two 50-km races, clocking 3 hr. 36 min. 3 sec. at the World Championships in Paris last August. Korzeniowski, 35, admits his career has turned out so well that "I could finish happily any day." So why bother with Athens? "I still have Olympic dreams," he says, flashing the first of many smiles. "I'm giving myself a bonus." He wants it in gold. Racewalking's weird look is one reason why the Olympic family treats it like a misunderstood stepchild. Walkers can blame the rules, which require that one foot touch the ground...
