...Tour is a traveling high school lunchroom, and sports fans eat up the bickering as though it were a Tater Tot. Which player do you like at Augusta: The stalking Tiger? The surly workaholic Vijay? Or triple-chipper Phil? Mickelson, who slept in his winner's green jacket after last year's Masters, says being defending champ is an advantage. Only three players have repeated at Augusta: Nicklaus (1965-66), Nick Faldo (1989-90) and Woods (2001-02). "I hadn't won a major, so I had that mental hurdle to get by, which tends to wear on you over...
...Even during the worst parts of the past two years, when his master plan for the World Trade Center site was being squeezed and adulterated, when the vivid spike that was his design for its centerpiece Freedom Tower was being reworked by other hands, Libeskind kept up a pretty chipper demeanor in public. It's only when you leaf through his memoir Breaking Ground: Adventures in Life and Architecture, in which the bitterness seeps through and he takes swipes at everyone who tried to push him aside in the design process, that you know for sure that sometimes the laughs...

There’s the Harvard of yore—Harvard freshman dormitories filled with revolutionary war soldiers and tutors beating students for not reciting Latin correctly. But from modern scenes in Emerson 105 to over-chipper Crimson Key tour guides in the yard, Martin captures present-day Harvard College exactly as a student might describe...
...pictures don't lie, exactly, but in person, Law is rather more chipper and unassuming. He can't quite seem to get all the buttons of his shirt into their corresponding holes, and his pants sit well south of the top of his undies. He makes an unabashed bid for the devoted-dad-of-the-decade title, showing off pictures of his three kids, Rafferty, 7, Iris, 3, and Rudy, 18 months, and chortling over their Christmas-present lists. (Spoiler alert, Rudy! You're getting a toy car.) For a looker, Law is unnervingly eager to please...
