...linesman and called one of his passing shots wide. In a one-minute tantrum, the 39-year-old, five-time Open winner called the offending official "a bum," "a son of a bitch" and "an abortion." From then on, Connors played brilliantly, and he took the 4-hr. 41-min. match in a tempestuous tie breaker, before advancing again three days later...
...Vegas the only sound that rivals the clink of coins is the rush of water. At the Mirage, a flashy hotel complex on the Strip, a cascading 39-ft.- high waterfall gushes 135 gal. per min. Fountains adorn the entranceways to banks, hotels and condominiums. Development communities market "waterfront living" on artificial lakes that sit like giant puddles in the middle of the Mojave. Even the names -- Montego Bay, Shoreline Estates, The Lakes -- reinforce the illusion that water flows abundantly in this desert oasis...

It is folly to lavish $40 million of somebody's money (that's $10 million a Door!) and 2 hr. 15 min. of your time on a proposition -- some guys can't handle fame -- that was evident two decades ago. Maybe it was fun to bathe in decadence back then. But this is no time to wallow in that mire...
...Bernardo Bertolucci assembled an all-star cast (Robert De Niro, Gerard Depardieu, Burt Lancaster, Stefania Sandrelli) for a history of 20th century Italy that played like a Marxist Gone With the Wind. Now the full version -- all 5 hr. 11 min. -- is premiering in the U.S. Don't miss the grandest folly of a great director...
