And since this quintessential New Yorker exiled himself to Europe (where his fondest admirers live, and where the money for his pictures now comes from), he'd made a suave sex-and-murder mystery, Match Point, and two that deserve to have the veil of anonymity drawn over them, so I won't mention their titles.

Her 7.7 level of difficulty - which only two of the Chinese gymnasts in the entire meet could match - put her too far ahead for Johnson to catch up.

So, the female world-record holder in the marathon is about 54 kg (119 lbs) and the male world-record holder is about 56 kg (124 lbs). If you don't match for weight, then women get a huge advantage over longer distances, simply because they have less mass to move around. But once you match for weight, the men run about 10% faster. We've really shown now that at any distance between...
