...Langer, 27, who last week became the first German ever to win the Masters Tournament. With brilliant iron shots and steadier putting than has been usual for him, Langer in the last nine holes came from four shots back to win by two. His final total: 282, six under par for the Augusta National course. The lone West German pro on the P.G.A. tour, Langer is the first of his countrymen to win even the German Open. His Masters victory, he hopes, "will inspire some other young boy from Germany to take up the game." For now, though, when asked...
...hungry filmgoers foolish enough to attend the torturous, overwrought Heaven’s Gate. It’s one of those films that as a cinephile you hear about all the time—it went wildly over-budget, practically toppled United Artists, and has become the example par excellence of what happens when an obsessive director runs wildly out of control...
Dusk is creeping up the pine trees at the Sawgrass Players Club, but Vijay Singh isn't heading for the 19th hole.

...countries, with pretty much no money in your pocket, you kind of get a different attitude about life," he says. "You're a harder player." So while Mickelson is flying Cessnas and Woods is fishing, Singh is hitting golf balls as though his next meal depends on shooting under par...
Although set in the '20s, this is the '60s film par excellence. Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre) both love the free-spirited Catherine (Jeanne Moreau), who bunks with each of them. Unofficially remade dozens of times (most recently by Bernardo Bertolucci as The Dreamers), François Truffaut's 1962 valentine to not-so-free love explored the geometry of the romantic triangle with a scientist's precision and a poet's wisdom. The confusions of love never seemed so radiant...
