...Booker short list and has been hailed as a return to peak form. It's not quite that good - it has Possession's omnivorous range but not its propulsive discipline. Still, The Children's Book is a rich and ambitious work, steeped in ideas and capped with a lacerating final...
...Games--including the João Havelange Olympic Stadium, where track-and-field events will take place--don't meet IOC standards or will require extensive renovations. Nearly 20 will need to be built from scratch. Cariocas, as Rio's residents are called, are still reeling from the final bill for 2007's much smaller Pan American Games, which ended up costing the city 10 times the original $177 million estimate.

The Crimson hung tight with a dominant Terriers team throughout the first half, but was ultimately blown away...
...negotiations that were revived this week in the hope of resolving the Honduran coup crisis still haven't cracked the critical issue: whether ousted President Manuel Zelaya will be restored to office and allowed to finish the final three months of his term. The U.S., the Organization of American States (OAS) and every other nation in the world have condemned the June 28 military coup as antidemocratic - and they've warned the installed President, Roberto Micheletti, that they won't recognize the results of Honduras' long-planned Nov. 29 presidential election if Zelaya isn't reinstated beforehand...
