...Expos were not a good team, but Pedro Martinez was a good pitcher that year—a damn good pitcher who won his first Cy Young award. He recorded his 300th strikeout in his final start of the year as 12,000-plus cheered him on. I know, because I was there...
...GAEL GARCIA BERNAL IN THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES AND BAD EDUCATION This hunky, soulful Mexican could be his own toughest competitor. We'd pick his virtuoso turn in Pedro Almodóvar's Bad Education over his more conventional role as the young Che Guevara...

Today, La Gomera remains home to about 18,000 residents, and tourism is helping to stanch emigration by those no longer able to make a living from farming or fishing. Ferries make the 40-minute trip from Tenerife, and one of the attractions, apart from a rich flora in the cloud-shrouded peaks, the highest of which is just under 1,500 m above sea level, is the chance to hear whistle-speak.
