...used to these sorts of things. It meant, at the time, that the Italians would have to play a man short. But not for long. The U.S . continued to press , and in the 33rd minute Carlos Bocanegra went close with a shot. That was enough for Italian coach Marcelo Lippi, who withdrew stud striker Francesco Totti in the 35th minute and put on his Rotweiller, Gennaro Gattuso, a rough defensive midfielder. Gattuso had barely begun hacking people when the sides were equal, Pablo Mastroeni being dismissed in the 45th minute for what was deemed a harsh tackle, but in reality...
...Still, Italy began to press hard, with Lippi inserting striker Allesandro Del Piero and Arena countering with the no-nonsense defender Jimmy Conrad, who would bully Italians for the rest of the night. But it was American keep Kasey Keller who would soon earn his man of the match with a number of saves at full stretch, including one in the 73rd minute on a shot by Del Piero, as the American fans howled their approval. With 10 minutes left in the game, it was clear the U.S. would settle for the draw, and they defended grimly until...
...Florentine artist filippino Lippi was the product of a scandalous 15th century love affair: his father, Filippo, an artist and Carmelite friar, was chaplain of Santa Margarita convent in Prato when he ran off with a beautiful nun named Lucrezia Buti.

Botticelli, from Lorenzo the Magnificent to Savonarola (Oct. 1-Feb. 22) assembles 20 Botticelli paintings and six drawings, plus a dozen works by contemporaries like Filippo Lippi and Piero di Cosimo, all working during the late 15th century, when Florence blossomed in the humanist atmosphere of the Medici court before being swallowed up by the fire-and-brimstone fervor of the Dominican monk Savonarola. Along with several of Botticelli's delicate Madonnas, the show's highlights include...
...rest of us. In his autobiography, A Goal in the Sky, due out this month, Baggio, 34, trashes many of the famous coaches he has encountered during his long career. "The Divine Ponytail" takes angry sideswipes at Renzo Ulivieri and Fabio Capello, but reserves special venom for Marcello Lippi, his tormentor at both Juventus and Inter Milan. Baggio claims Lippi tried to recruit him as a locker-room spy and then tried to destroy his career. Notably absent from this roll of dishonor is current Italy coach Giovanni ("Trap") Trapattoni, in whose hands rest Baggio's dreams of making...
