...game has great players, but it has suffered from a lack of interesting personalities and gripping rivalries. The Top 20 list is clogged with Spanish clay-court matadors and nondescript Europeans. Goran Ivanisevic, who won Wimbledon with a thrilling five-setter, was ranked 125th, but who wants to memorize 125 names? Names like Gustavo Kuerten...
...spine by a complex system of ropes and stone counterweights - into the water, hold it there for a minute, then haul it out by pulling the ropes like some ancient tug-of-war with the backwaters. The men win, but the prize is paltry: a few eels and some nondescript fish, no more than 15 kg in all. But the fishermen seem happy enough. They break for a smoke. I ask one of them, Maran, if he knows why the nets are called Chinese. "They came from China," Maran replies. Does he know when? "Long time ago, before my grandfather...

The kits didn't bring the vessels to life, but instead presented archival relics of a lost civilization, a world where technological marvels...
...Delvoye's latest work looks perfectly harmless in the middle of his chaotic studio in a nondescript part of Ghent. But that is only because it is at rest before heading off in May for the inaugural exhibit of Vienna's new Kunsthalle, and then on to Zurich's Migros Museum and then to New York. Normally it leaves no viewer unmoved. Called Cloaca, it consists of some $200,000 worth of chemical beakers, electric pumps and plastic tubing arrayed on a row of antiseptic stainless steel tables. When Cloaca is on exhibit, an attendant climbs the metal staircase...
