...GIACOMO, 3, a gray son of Holy Bull and a 50-to-1 long shot; the 131st Kentucky Derby; in Louisville, Ky. The colt, named by its record-producer owner after Sting's 9-year-old son, had finished first in just one race before last Saturday, when he became the horse with the second worst odds ever to win the Derby, trailing only Donerail's 91-to-1 feat...
...Nation, the weekly magazine of leftist opinion, staff members like to joke that "if it's bad for the country, it's good for the Nation." In a political age dominated by bloggers, conservatives and cable news, the Nation delivers a regular helping of unfashionably liberal journalism printed on gray butcher paper, lightened only by pencil drawings and the mordant poetry of Calvin Trillin.

It was a science lecture gone gonzo, a scene that seemed to cry out for several dusty volumes—or, for that matter, the electro-acoustic duo the Books, who were scheduled to headline the MFA’s latest indie rock concert...
Maybe it makes perfect sense that Steve Wynn would turn into the Mister Rogers of Las Vegas. Sitting in his new hotel in a red V-neck sweater and gray wool pants, Wynn, 63--famous for yelling at employees, taking up steer roping and accidentally shooting off his index finger in his office--is talking about building neighborhoods in his latest land of make-believe. Explaining that his hotel will be a mellow retreat, without the glitz and campy themes that have made him such a sensation in the past, Wynn breaks into a rendition of Bali Ha'ifrom South...
