My first call as tour manager was to Nuge, the guitarist who penned Cat Scratch Fever and is now a right-wing hunter.

The newspapers went front page with pictures of an equally unlikely torchbearer?actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai, kitted out in a white tracksuit, giggling with her boyfriend, actor Vivek Oberoi. It was a perplexing spectacle. Watching the decidedly un-Olympian figure of former Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev paunchily puffing his way past New Delhi's Red Fort, I found myself wondering: Does India, nation...
RETIRING. SMARTY JONES, 3, the unassuming chestnut colt that created legions of new horse-racing fans with his effortless wins in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, and a near-miss for the Triple Crown at the Belmont Stakes; to a breeding farm, after he was found to have bruised ankles; in Philadelphia...
