...premium cognac, Louis XIII de Rémy Martin, which retails for around $1,400 a bottle. To be labeled a cognac, as opposed to a mere brandy, the eau-de-vie must come mainly from three types of white grapes - Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard - grown in the areas around the town. Despite coming from vineyards in an even more exclusive area, Louis XIII is still the blend of 1,200 individual eaux-de-vie. Like the medieval cathedral builders who didn't live to see the fruits of their labors, many of the master tasters who filled...
...Until last night. Having grown up as a Bears fan in pre-Colts Indianapolis - the first NFL game my father ever took me to see was at Soldier Field - I've never been as ardent a fan of Peyton Manning's crew as my younger brother is (or my son, whom I've gladly let my Hoosier relatives turn into a Colts enthusiast).

After a round of chemotherapy before Christmas in December, she was too tired to get off the couch. Then her grown daughters brought over a Wii. Together they played bowling, tennis and golf. "It got a little exhausting," Zamora says, but she was hooked and began playing on her own every day. Soon after joining a local bowling league, she was named the league's Most Improved Player.

...family members. When Wilson was 14 social workers moved her, but the Garleys kept in touch and Wilson telephoned them just before December 2001, when she vanished. Until the trial, the Garleys had no idea the girl they called "Running Bear," the name honoring Wilson's aboriginal heritage, had grown up to become a drug addict selling sex on Downtown Eastside streets. In her last call to the Garleys, Wilson told them she was engaged to be married and doing well, Garley sobbed in an interview with TIME. "Mona always wanted us to have a good opinion...
