...this game was different. The Crimson applied relentless pressure and finally scored with 32:36 gone in the first half when the fleet-footed Downing tallied unassisted. Then, with seven seconds left in the half, Belisle converted a penalty shot for a strong 2-0 lead...
...work of Jusepe de Ribera, whose masterpieces are displayed in a new exhibition at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, is the very antitype of the great Matisse show 30 blocks downtown at the Museum of Modern Art: darkness, Baroque realism and a relentless admixture of piety with sadistic guignol, all done at the highest level of skill and conviction.

Last week, following a 36-day trial, a federal court dropped the owners' favorite fork on the floor, ruling that the National Football League's limited free-agency plan was illegal and awarding four players $1.6 million in damages. The decision will probably lead to a less restrictive agreement and higher salaries...
