...when they don't win? It's not pretty. John Hart had the misfortune of being the All Blacks coach when they were overwhelmed by France in their World Cup semifinal at Twickenham, England, in 1999. In the weeks afterward, he was vilified on New Zealand talk-back radio and spat on by patrons at an Auckland racetrack. Four years later, the All Blacks lost another semifinal 22-10 to Australia in Sydney. The coach that night, John Mitchell, was sacked, and now coaches in Australia. He declined to be interviewed by TIME on the All Blacks. "He baulks...

...trunkful of classic pop - Rodgers and Hart's"Manhattan," Dietz and Schwartz' "Dancing in the Dark," Cole Porter's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" - I found a few surprises: the 1952 "Guess Who I Saw Today," a quietly devastating ballad of Cheever-like yearning and betrayal, and "Pack Up Your Sins," a Berlin number that was new to me, and wittier than the songs of his I know from this period (1922). Just reading some of the lyrics, you can feel the rhythm and the revelry: "Pack up your sins and go to the Devil in Hades...
