...Anyway, I was once more transfixed by the music. I still believe that "Whole Lotta Shakin' " and "Great Balls of Fire" constitute the most potent one-two punch any pop performer ever launched and landed. And of these, "Balls" is certainly the greater. The first song was standard 12-bar boogie: C, C, F, C, G-F, C. "Great Balls," written by ace '50s rock composer Otis Blackwell (of "Don't Be Cruel" and "Fever" fame) and Jack Hammer, is a declaration of lust so impatient it needs only eight bars, dropping the second and fourth C lines. It gets...
...One championship, a quiet 32-year-old Irishman is riding roughshod over British Isles flat racing. Aidan O'Brien's horses have such a record of winning big races that other trainers are now almost reluctant to put their charges up against them. When O'Brien entered his colt Hawk Wing in the prestigious Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, England, a week ago, with stablemate Sholokhov as his pacemaker, they faced only three other horses. Hawk Wing and Sholokhov duly romped home. That success came only weeks after one of O'Brien's outstanding colts, High Chaparral, led a one-two...
Curt Schilling is the more talkative half of the greatest one-two pitching combination in baseball today. He and fellow Arizona Diamondback ace Randy Johnson were co-MVPs in last year?s World Series. Tonight Schilling will play in his fifth All-Star game. He tells TIME's Mitch Frank what it?s like to be an All-Star, whether players should be tested for steroids and how computers help give him an edge...
...Both of these diminutive players have had the misfortune of being tagged "the new Maradona." Perhaps the heavy burden of that label compelled them to show off their dazzling skills every time they received the ball, weaving one way, then the other, deceiving a couple of defenders, then turning again and accelerating away from a third. Why go for the old one-two, when you can try for a one-two-three-four? It was breathtaking to watch, but all this trickery took up valuable seconds, allowing a retreating phalanx of Swedish midfielders to crowd into the penalty box. When...
...former player Lea Pericoli recently said, "For two friends [to compete] it can be difficult. For two from the same country, very difficult. For sisters, impossible." Maybe that is what made the Roland Garros match so error-strewn. The statistics showed just how disappointing the match was. In the 149 points of the match, 115 produced unforced errors, with 13 breaks of serve and 14 double faults. Even the girls' normally blistering serves slowed down by as much as 30 km/h. When the sister act reaches Wimbledon later this month, the one-two combination will probably produce another Williams final...
