Investigators have discovered another anomaly: the brake fluid contained 7.5% water. Since water is not normally present in the system, Judge Stephan has requested an expert report on how it got there and whether it could have caused the brakes to malfunction. Experts consulted by TIME say this amount of water could cause corrosion and rust that might impair or even disable the brakes...
Brody collects some laughable racquets, including one made from a tube filled with flowing fluid. Yet he endorses much of today's tennis tech. A larger racquet surface, he says, does help propel even off-center shots. And a thicker "beam" or frame produces more power and stability. "The extra length in the handle will give you something too," he notes, especially on the serve. (The higher up your serve starts, the better angle it has into the service box.) He's more dubious about the new ultralight titanium racquets. Although a lighter racquet is easier to maneuver, many players...
Miraculously fluid and well-shaped, the narrative unspools like a wavering dream. Reality, for Ricci, is a blurred photograph torn at the edges (as is the title--you can finish the book without knowing whom "she" refers to, let alone where she has gone). Heavy with the pressure of the unspoken, yet vividly immediate, this tale of detonations proceeds like the fishing boats we see at the end, taking off into a "moon-crusted sea," with bonfires behind them on shore, a "strange moonlit flotilla like some whispered night-time setting out for the beyond...

We go back and forth in an essential gesture of sports. A ball travels between two people, each seeking a moment of understanding from the other, across the yard and the years. To play a game of catch is not like pitching to a batter. You do not throw to trick, confuse or evade; you want to be understood...
