...album as a whole.Still, there are moments where one longs for the old Black Keys. The album’s structure tends to draw attention to weaker moments, like the aptly-titled “Same Old Thing,” instead of burying them in the helter-skelter guitar chaos of a more traditional Keys album. For all the bells and whistles Danger Mouse hangs on “So He Won’t Break,” it doesn’t have the redemptive fury or persuasion of early Keys throwaways. The disparity between the band?...
...vehicle is the new and helter-skelter Twenty20. For those not enamored of cricket, the game comes in three forms: stupefying (the traditional Test match, which can last five days and still not produce a result); slightly less stupefying (one-day cricket, in which scoring rates are quicker and matches continue into the night); and passably exciting (Twenty20, in which batsmen are pretty much obliged to try to belt every ball out of the park). An odd thing about the IPL is that, until recently, Indians didn't much like Twenty20 and were leading the way in trying to jazz...
...matches will be Twenty20, the newest, most helter-skelter and meaningless form of the game. There's a place for Twenty20 on the cricket calendar.

But it's cricket's best and brightest jewel. Since the 1970s, the sport's guardians have...

The helter-skelter movements of Dodi Fayed and Diana in the hours before the crash, with last-minute changes of plan - Paul had been off duty until shortly before he got in the car, which left from the back of the hotel instead of the front, as expected - meant a murder operation of this complexity, to provoke a crash on an unanticipated route, could not have been mounted...
...results often occur in helter-skelter one-day cricket, and even in a five-day Test the inferior side sometimes wins. But excluding weather interruptions, Ashes series are played over 25 six-hour days, long enough for class to tell and the cream to rise. It was apparent from the first morning of the First Test last year that England would be formidable. Australia had ample time to adjust their attitude, to crank up the intensity of their practices, to tinker with tactics and personnel. They did all of this and still lost...
