...have their proud, blue-collar sections of Wembley Stadium. The French urge on the tennis underdog amid the dusty-red clouds of Rolland-Garros. Duke basketball is thunderously supported by the "Cameron Crazies." And there was nothing like the "Dawg Pound" in Cleveland before Art Modell whisked the Browns (er, Ravens) off to Baltimore...
...grainy dysfunctional-family drama that seems to be aiming for a Chekhovian blend of humor and pathos, but falls far short of the mark. Its saving grace is solid ensemble acting, with Julianne Moore and "ER" darling Noah Wyle holding their own as the two central characters who make Thanksgiving a squirm with their barely-concealed resentment toward their taciturn and enigmatic father (Roy Scheider).

Making matters worse, MSN has hemorrhaged money--according to one analyst, up to $250 million as of last year. By last week rumors were flying through Wall Street that Gates was ready to put his online flagship on the block. A Web journal, TheStreet.com even posted a suggested retail price--$1 billion, about what AOL paid for CompuServe--and quoted an unnamed Microsoft executive...
