...Washington Star. But Managing Editor Ray Cave, a former sports journalist, was not looking for just a reporter. "He told me he wanted the section to read like a column," Callahan recalls. "I was to write in my own voice." Since then, Callahan has, in his inimitable fashion, described Super Bowls and World Series, Masters tournaments and Olympic Games. In this week's cover story, Callahan looks at two young men who are the premier players in their sports: Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics basketball team and Wayne Gretzky of hockey's Edmonton Oilers...
...major flaw of Half Moon Street is that it falls between two genres. The stories possess neither the sophisticated technique that would make them interesting pieces of fiction nor the right amount of tension that goes into a thriller. The narratives of both pieces progress in a linear fashion with few internal monologues or hints at the characters' motivations. As a result, the figures remain two dimensional.

If she could get her voice around a song the way she moves her shape for the camera, she would be pure nitro...
That image has made Madonna rock's first girlie pinup since Deborah Harry. An enterprising journalist for the English rock-fashion magazine The Face inquired if "she found it difficult deciding to lose her virginity." "Oh no," Madonna shot right back. "I thought of it as a career move." Says Marsh: "She presents herself as very tough and sluttish, which people seem able to accept very easily from Mick Jagger, but not from her. And look at Linda Ronstadt. She was at least as 'sluttish' as Madonna. Madonna never had her picture taken in a pigsty with shorts...
