...long snapper, along with his cousin in obscurity, the kick holder, have the most specialized jobs in football, perhaps in all of sports. And they only get attention when things go horribly wrong. The long snapper, his backside thrust into the air, head peering through his legs, has one goal in life - to deliver a tight spiral to the holder, standing eight yards away on field goals and extra points, or to the punter, some 15 yards behind his butt. "It's just not a natural motion to be upside down throwing a ball between your legs," explains Mannelly...
...phones of fellow drivers to warn them that the same can happen to them if they refuse to do the bidding of security officers. Kebir's humiliation in the Bulaq police station is alleged to have occurred in January 2006 after he got involved in a dispute between his cousin and the police. The images that first appeared last November appeared in a Cairo newspaper and were circulated by bloggers. El Kebir, whose father suffered a heart attack when he saw the images, was convinced to come forward by human rights groups and activists. The two officers he accused...

He switches from cotton to polyester and makes his fortune, creating India's biggest company, in part by encouraging the rising middle class to invest in it (tens of thousands flock to his shareholder meetings). He suffers a stroke that...

Monet's snowscapes, like those he did of Argenteuil, are indirect descendants of the snowy fields and mountains of Hiroshige and Hokusai. The unconventional, asymmetric "snapshot" composition favored by ukiyo-e artists became a hallmark of Impressionism: a good example is the Marmottan's La Barque (1887), in which Monet places the barque, or boat...
