...though, reminds you that Tarantino may be a world-class director but what he really wants to do is write. Here the most explosive confrontations are verbal - long dialogues, often admirably tense and usually in French or German. (It's basically a foreign-language film.) The chats take the form of interrogations. A German officer probes; a Resistance fighter evades. (Read "Blood Sport...
...Some modest success followed in the form of a few victories, mainly on the Asian tour. But intriguingly, last weekend's USPGA wasn't the first time Yang had beaten Woods: he had done the same at the 2006 HSBC Open in Shanghai.

...there's anything Ann Arbor won't lack for, it's news. There's already at least one profitable local-news site in town. Mary Morgan, 48, a former News staffer, and her husband Dave Askins, 44, started the Ann Arbor Chronicle last September. It specializes in long-form accounts of local council, school-board and other civic-association meetings. "I hand-tooled most of the HTML myself," says Askins.
