...exclamation point for the Rockies came on a rainy, frigid Sunday night more suited to a whaling expedition: after Torrealba's three-run homer in the sixth inning unstuck a 1-1 nail biter, the next Rockie up, Jeff Baker, lined a single. Then he tried to steal second base. Hurdle had sent a subtle pre-Series message to the American League: We never rest, we never quit, no matter the circumstances...
...costs about $10, it’s a big-budget production, it’s not too taxing on the mind, the snacks are overpriced, and it’s a perfect way to escape the heat of summer for 90 minutes of frigid air-conditioning. That’s right—I’m talking about the museum blockbuster, that particular brand of glitzy exhibit put up each June and July in the world’s most renowned museums. Long, snaking lines for admission to the latest art shows prove that the summer blockbuster phenomenon isn?...
...Corbucci went from hot to frigid with The Great Silence (1968), a snowbound Western in which a mute Jean-Louis Trintignant, the Man With No Voice, sets out to even the odds against the nasties who cut out his tongue.

It was horse opera rendered as grand opera, with Morricone's fullest, most voluptuous score. Corbucci's vision was much bleaker. For once the good guy doesn...
...Atlantic. The Arctic ice cap's loss through melting this year was 10 times the recent annual average, amounting to an area greater than that of Texas and New Mexico combined. The Arctic has never been immune from politics; during the Cold War, U.S. and Soviet submarines navigated its frigid waters. But now that global warming has rendered the Arctic more accessible than ever - and yet at the same time more fragile - a new frenzy has broken out for control of the trade routes at the top of the world and the riches that nations hope and believe...
Freighter captains avoid them as potential catastrophes; climate scientists see them as a bellwether of global warming. But now marine biologists have a more positive take on the thousands of icebergs that have broken free from Antarctica in recent years. These frigid, starkly beautiful mountains of floating ice turn out to be bubbling hot spots of biological activity. And in theory, at least, they could help counteract the buildup of greenhouse gases that are heating the planet...
