...film of hers that is most accessible to later audiences. But by then she was an anachronism, a piece of crystal under glass in the museum of antiquated acting. Europe, her biggest market, was closed when World War II began. As for the boys in uniform, they wanted heat from their stars, not Garbo's dry ice. So she retired, to be seen only with her hand up like a traffic warden's, fleeing prying paparazzi. Her hermitry made her even more renowned. Nothing attracts a crowd like hiding from...
...would take U2 a couple more years and two more albums before it could compound that Boston frenzy worldwide and come up with the first song that could stand as its anthem. That was Sunday Bloody Sunday from 1983's War, a tune about the divisive heat and blind violence of modern Ireland that curried no favor on either side. War was U2's best work until The Joshua Tree; the year after its release, Island, detecting seismic vibrations, renegotiated the band's contract with McGuinness.

He tried to get them settled and asked them to show him the sickest. "And they lead me. It's not a subtle thing. It's generally the ones who are seizing on the floor...
...Court 8, Xavier Malisse, once ranked in the top 20, was in the middle of a meltdown, which wasn?t difficult. The heat this week is going to be oppressive, and any player not in top condition-there was some whispering in the press area about Serena Williams? fitness-is going to have a tough time surviving, particularly if they have to play day matches or a couple of five-setters. Down 4-2 in the second set, Malisse looked like he had just stepped out of a swimming pool and swung like he was under water. He kept looking...
