...settlement patterns throughout the city seemed permanent to me. Italians east of me in Bridgeport, blacks north in North Lawndale, Polish and Irish south in Back of the Yards, and white suburbia in the West. The four corners of the hub of my world seemed so clearly drawn. The large, pink, concrete arches on 26th Street welcoming visitors to Little Village seemed like they had always been guarding the neighborhood from unlikely and unpleasant change...
...time is 1931. The story begins in a medium-size city near Chicago. There Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks) works as a hit man for mob boss John Rooney (Paul Newman), who has raised him as his son--a man who bewilderingly, entrancingly combines Irish bonhomie with ruthless criminality...

Now, just in time for the Commonwealth Games, Leese has shown that Manchester could overcome that legacy of drab functionality with the help of the best architects he could find - in Manchester, Britain and indeed the world.

That success came only weeks after one of O'Brien's outstanding colts, High Chaparral, led a one-two in the English Derby and a sweep of the first three places in the Irish Derby. Both High Chaparral and Hawk Wing were sired by champion stallion, Sadler's Wells. The connection between O'Brien, his horses and Sadler's Wells is the Coolmore Stud. Sadler's Wells is one of 19 stallions standing at Coolmore's Ballydoyle estate, where O'Brien trains, in County Tipperary, Ireland...
