But they have the best winners in tennis, and we have the best losers in the world, and tradition will always keep Wimbledon special, if not what it was." For Pignon, a picturesquely mustachioed man with a pipe and a paisley shirt, this was his 44th Wimbledon. "It used to be a way of life," he said, "much more gentle.

Stallone, dressed in running shoes and warmup suit, puffing on a Dunhill briar pipe, leafs through the pictures of his pre-Rocky days, a ritual of memory: "There's me in a doorman's jacket I stole to keep warm. There's me with an earring-I actually delivered Perrier in that. Another with my torn-T shirt Stanley Kowalski look...
...invitation to the avid psychospeculator. The intermittently mad author tells how, as a young girl, she was sexually used by an older half Leon brother. Her emotional ties to her father were so strong that a few weeks after his death, Woolf asserted manhood by starting to smoke a pipe. Reflections of beasts have been provoked by far less...
