...nestle in lipstick red chairs and slurp on their "Poma," a refreshing, burgundy-tinted pomegranate martini with a swift kick of lime. First floor is more for the older folks whose rusty joints find it difficult to handle four flights of stairs. Those with a lighter gait should speed it to the cozy top floor for a stunning city view. There are a few private parties at Tabaq this weekend, but it's still open to the public as the spot to hit for Mediterranean cuisine and intimate...
...future wife, who was then only 17. The next year, while he continued to study and paint with his father, they were married. When the war years came, he tried to enlist, but was decisively 4-F'ed because of crooked hip joints, which give him a gangly gait. Instead, at a time when U.S. art was at a virtual standstill, he churned out vigorous, splashy watercolors that explored flattened space, joyous color and jumpy line in such a way that they could have marked him as a nascent abstract expressionist...

His plodding, mulish gait and mechanical style led many to label him a "journeyman" even before his 30th birthday, and for many years he was a consistent nearly-man, just like Norman. Between his first professional victory, in 1998, and his second two years later, he recorded nine runner-up finishes. When he finally did break through in a major championship, with a victory in a playoff of the British Open last year at Carnoustie, it was only after recovering from a disastrous double bogey on the final...
