...cricket has been the Test match, a five-day examination of skill and nerve. It can be dull at times: even after 30 hours' play the result is occasionally a draw. But it's cricket's best and brightest jewel. Since the 1970s, the sport's guardians have fed the cricket-lite one-day version of the game to its more fickle fans, but it's positively stately compared to Twenty20. The danger of Twenty20's spread is that, some day, few fans will have the patience for anything else, and cricket will have been turned into just another soulless...
...clutch of key Futurist artworks further testifies to that movement's rapturous celebration of the machine age. Typical in its depiction of repetitive, colliding shapes is Giacomo Balla's 1913 monochrome watercolor Automobile + speed + light. Futurism's glorification of man-made power was not politically innocent; it fed directly into the country's rising nationalism, a cause ardently embraced by the poet-pilot Gabriele D'Annunzio. He became the figurehead of the Irredentists, who wanted once-Italian territories returned to their homeland. The show includes such pathos-laden d'Annunzio memorabilia as the tattered logbook he kept when he drove...
...cracks are appearing within Malaysia's dominant political machine. Recent racial tensions between the country's majority Malays and minority Chinese and Indian populations could undercut support for coalition candidates in the elections.

On Saturday, hundreds of Indians marched through Kuala Lumpur carrying roses...

He has a certain type of humor, and I have a certain type.RR: Would you say you were the Affleck or Damon of the duo?KC: Damon! Yeah, duh. We had a lot of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon jokes actually. There’s actually a Ben Affleck...
...year fixed-rate mortgage at today's rate of 5.5%. Monthly principal and interest come to $994.31. Let's say that 12 months from now the same house goes for 10% less, or $197,010. But by then the recession is history and the Fed is jacking up rates to stem inflation. If mortgage costs rise a point, to 6.5%, your monthly payment would be $994.94 and you'd have saved nothing. Meanwhile, home prices might steady and sellers might become less willing to negotiate. And you have spent a year living someplace you'd rather...
