...them combined for one of the best goals of the tournament in Brazil's quarter-final match against England - a scintillating Ronaldinho run, finished off by a showpiece Rivaldo left-footed flick. (Earlier in the tournament Rivaldo provided the tournament's most distasteful piece of gamesmanship when he feigned a face injury from a ball struck by Turkey's Hakan Unsal that had hit him on the leg. The Turk was sent off for a second yellow card offense - an incident that earned Rivaldo heavy criticism and a not-so-heavy fine...

...Jiang has every reason to be exhausted. He's a notoriously choosy actor who usually appears in just one movie a year, yet his brooding mug will flicker through five films in the next 12 months.

Her memoir, A Big Life, tells the tale of her agency, Wells Rich Greene; her ardent wooing of clients; her even more ardent...
...some pregnant women are also coming under scrutiny. At the University of Rochester, embryologist Patricia Rodier and her colleagues are exploring how certain teratogens (substances that cause birth defects) could lead to autism. They are focusing on the teratogens' impact on a gene called hoxa1, which is supposed to flick on very briefly in the first trimester of pregnancy and remain silent ever after. Embryonic mice in which the rodent equivalent of this gene has been knocked out go on to develop brainstems that are missing an entire layer of cells...
