...circus had come to town for its annual preseason trials. It was only a test session (racing gets under way March 14 in Bahrain), but it gives you a good idea why F1 is one of the biggest sporting enterprises in the world - part medieval joust, part moon launch.

...Leno, the Grover Cleveland of television, commenced his second nonconsecutive term on March 1. His transition from prime-time failure to once and future host of The Tonight Show lasted about a minute and a half. The cold open had him waking up in a sepia-toned sequence à la Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.
