...Born in 1925, Altman came out of Kansas City, breeding ground of such fertile creators and benders of American popular art as Walt Disney and Charlie Parker. (He paid tribute to his hometown's jazz heritage in the 1996 Kansas City.) It was there young Bob fell in love with pop cinema in all its apparent spontaneity. " Those movies just seemed to happen - nobody made them, you know?" he told John C.

There's a lot to like about the tourists' session. Despite a long layoff due to injury, Flintoff's bowling looks as lively as ever.

Watching him running in to bowl revives memories of an Australian practice at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the late '90s, when two speedsters at opposite ends of their careers were operating in adjacent nets.
