...cult staple of festivals and late-night college specials ever since. But after he struggled through the 70s to finance and shoot a still more experimental follow-up, No Place Like Home, the director's career stalled completely when the negatives went missing in a New Jersey warehouse. "It broke his heart when he lost that footage," says his daughter Justine. "He'd put all his time energy and money into it and then it was gone." So Henzell gave up on filmmaking and started writing books, which, like 1982's The Power Game, proved to be just as distinctive...
...Perry Henzell and directed by Kerry Michael and Dawn Reid, opened last March at Stratford's 460-seat Theatre Royal, a plush Victorian-era playhouse with a modern mission to foster black and community productions. Against expectations, the musical's short-run became a word-of-mouth success and broke all their box office records, so now the show is being restaged there as a tribute to the late director but also with an eye on making the journey from the East End of London to the West End stage - a delicious and not so unlikely prospect for a theatreland...
...stop talking about is his big, humongous...forehand. The puerile locks are gone now. But hey! The ladies aren’t complaining, and neither are we. FM predicts that 2007 will be the year of Blake.

That is until 2004, when he broke his neck in practice, contracted a virus which left...
...those who say Greg Oden and his fellow grown-man-sized “one-and-doners” are too good for college competition, I say: I’m sure their fans would enjoy them even more if they won a championship or two or even broke UCLA’s record of 88 straight wins. And it wouldn’t hurt if they got an education in the process. Economic logic might trump my own, but at least my thinking would make for good sport (and sports stories). In this era when much of college athletics...
...pilgrims were massed on the Aimma Bridge in northern Baghdad, making their way to a golden-domed shrine for holiday celebrations. Suddenly the crowd grew panicky - someone had said there was a suicide bomber among them. A moment later, the line on the bridge erupted into a stampede. Barriers broke, and people plunged into the Tigris River below. Other walls on the bridge held, trapping some under a suffocating crush of people. Mohammed arrived on the scene in time to see scores of dead bodies - almost 1,000 people were killed in the incident, and as many were injured...
