...subject of twin gynecologists, driven to dementia and a symbiotic murder-suicide by urges that both share but neither understands, seems a scenario only Cronenberg could dream up. In fact, the story comes from the novel Twins, by Bari Wood and Jack Geasland, which in turn was based on the case history of Drs. Cyril and Stewart Marcus, a pair of respected gynecologists who in 1975 were found dead in a Manhattan apartment.

It is also true that during his nearly two years as N.L. president, Giamatti has attracted extraordinary press coverage, considerably...
...Kenyan runner, Paul Ereng, looked around at his own team. Several countrymen more celebrated than he had not made the squad. "That's the greatest thing about the Games," he said. "They aren't for the most experienced, and they aren't for the least. Neither are they for the best known or the worst. They're for the first one home...
