...bucket as compared to Woods' index of accolades and titles. But the 20-year old woman is undeniably making history. Williams' U.S. Open victory last Sunday was as much a celebration of exceptional athletic prowess as it was of femininity. She stunned her equally hard-hitting opponent, Lindsay Davenport, with 117 m.p.h. serves, eight aces, 12 saved break points and, of course, she did so in style...

Try choosing instead between poor Jelena Dokic, whose own dad was escorted out of the All England Tennis Club for cell-phone smashing, intemperate flag-waving and profane anti-Clinton diatribes, or the real buzz underdog, publicity-deprived Lindsay Davenport, who actually prefers it that...

Minghella does not let Ripley off that easily. He devises two characters who fall for the killer and get in his way: a sweet, rich buttinsky (Blanchett) and a gentle homosexual (Davenport). Can he kiss them, or kiss them off, without bumping them off? We won't tell, but we will say that Tom has second thoughts about his addiction to killing the things he loves. The film lets Tom off the hook for the murders of Dickie and Freddie. Then it creates a new hook and leaves you wondering if Ripley will hang from...
