...turnovers and shot under 35 percent for the game, including only 6-of-24 three-point makes.“We like to play in the open court because we have big [men] that can run and we have guards that can run,” Lin said. Local boy Lin showed his full array of skills in the victory. He knocked down a pair of treys, finished nifty lay-ins at the rim, distributed the ball, and played swarming defense. His five assists and four steals were also career highs. Lin’s former coach at Palo Alto...
...starts twisting in your gut. He's about as perfect a representation of unambiguous evil as the movies have lately offered. And Brolin is his perfect foil. He's terrific as a totally twisted cop in American Gangster, but he's equally good as a totally innocent good ole boy here. All right, trying to make off with someone else's ill-gotten gains is maybe not entirely smart or entirely moral.

When we’re introduced to him, Fred is taking great pleasure in expropriating family televisions during the holiday season. He?...
...masses. So does his plainspokenness. He says he fought apartheid not for lofty ideals like racial equality, justice and democracy but because "I was oppressed." He panders to popular prejudices, calling same-sex marriage a "disgrace to the nation and to God" and boasting that when he was a boy, he would "knock out" homosexuals. Crucially, he benefits from his position as an outsider. Many ANC supporters are unhappy with what they claim is the government's pursuit of economic growth over equality: millions of South Africans still live in the same tin-roof townships to which they were confined...
