...legend's health evaporate after 10 minutes' rallying, when the younger man is drenched in perspiration while Cooper might have been playing checkers in the shade. "You hit a nice ball," he flatters. "You play the modern way-topspin forehand and double-handed backhand." Cooper's style is an echo of a game no longer seen on the courts of elite tennis, a gentleman's game of long, elegant strokes, a game in which the ball is caressed rather than pulverized, a game best controlled at the net.

...early May 2005, and alarm bells in Washington's media echo chamber were ringing. A leaked Pentagon report had warned that the strain of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars could crimp the Defense Department's ability to respond quickly to other conflicts, and pundits were fretting that China and North Korea could exploit the vulnerability.

...Rescued from this cultural-and conceptual-ocean, and occupying a central spot in the refitted QAG, the mats stand up resolutely well as art. In their exploration of color and line, they score a knockout punch, from the muscular motifs of Hawaii, which resonate powerfully with "echo" quilting, and the psychedelic patchwork technique of taorei, from the Cook Islands, to the elaborate appliqu?s of French Polynesia, which make Matisse's cut-outs look like child's play. But it is the threading through of more personal visions that transform these tapestries into serenely subversive artistic statements. When Englishman John Williams...
