...mere 24 hours before they had to hit the mats, the U.S. men flowed freely as a unit during Aug. 12's team final, with Joseph Hagerty stepping in to lend his expertise on parallel bars, and Artemev adding the flair of his pommel horse routine into the mix. They also got lucky with the rotation order, pulling one of their strongest events - the still rings - first out of the six. Tan, a national champion on the rings, helped the men to reach third place after that rotation. But it wasn't until they reached the high bars that...
...Hayes' theme - for the proto-blaxploitation policier than helped yank Hollywood's depiction of African-American males from the sanctity of Sidney Poitier into the grittier image of the stud male who rules the streets with a sizzling machismo - was a cunning mix of wocka-wocka percussion, soaring violins, a sassy girl group whispering the hero's name as if it were a phallic deity and, anchoring it all, the basso talk-singing of the studly composer.

It is faintly ironic that one of Lee's best-selling shirts, which reads I LOVE SHANGHAI, simply appropriates the 1977 Milton Glaser logo for New York State. But none of this is about a dislike of America, per se. Just the desire to replace America's icons with Asia...
...This is the quintessential Hong Kong breakfast. Even McDonald's and KFC serve noodle soups, usually with an inexplicable hunk of meat dropped in the mix. Instead of eggs and toast, you'd be more likely to have ramen with a hot dog thrown in. I leave happy and satiated, although unnerved by the waitress. Maybe she's just cranky, or maybe it's like France...
