...generation, having achieved mythic status at Italian club Fiorentina in the 1990s before moving to AS Roma two seasons ago. In the modern game, a deadly forward is one who scores once every three games. Batistuta's average for Argentina is better than two in three. With his shoulder-length blond hair and soulful eyes, he looks a likely lead in Jesus Christ Superstar, but he has the instincts of a cold-blooded killer. Bielsa notes that Batistuta is "more comfortable in the last third of the pitch" than his rival, and that's an understatement. There is no cooler...

He flags down a taxi; he and his sheep get in. This man, a Muslim, complains to the driver that "the Russians think anyone with dark skin is a bandit." Turns out he's not a bandit...
...Cross volunteers. The workers were at once celebrities, flirted with by the young people who flocked downtown to serve food and set up Internet connections, and totally anonymous, their features shrouded by hardhats or baseball caps slung low over their foreheads. We cheered them on, standing on the shoulder of the West Side Highway, waving our flags and our placards of thanks, but we will never truly understand what they...
