...browse or buy. Twentysomething Caroline Dunlevy, who was making her second visit since the boutique opened, admitted it's changed her perception of what a charity shop could be. "It's really a cut above the others," she said. Real quality is always good for a second go-round, especially if the price is right...
...action that defied reason (personified here by Lieutenant General James Longstreet, who is underwritten and underplayed by Tom Berenger). Lee's opposite number in the film's dramatic scheme is Colonel Chamberlain, commander of a ravaged regiment assigned to defend the Union flank on the hill known as Little Round Top. A college professor and, as played by Jeff Daniels, a soft-spoken humanist-idealist, he is democratic man at his best. And a commander of steely resolve.

But his final-round 77 and tied third-place finish behind England's Ian Poulter further cement his standing as golf's most heartbreaking avatar of almost-but-not-quite. Yesterday included, Norman...
...good shot or bad, his smile seemed to acknowledge the reality, so elusive to all athletes, that win or lose he was still being paid a lot of money to play a game. In his joyous acceptance speech on Sunday, Harrington recounted a telling anecdote from his second round. After a double bogey that could have taken him out of the running, he was walking to the next tee box when a fan reached over the ropes, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, Paddy. On Monday I have to go back to being...
