Adding some color to the mix hasn't been smooth. Just ask the Williams sisters' father Richard. Actually, don't bother asking. Just stand within shouting distance of him, or listen to the outgoing message on his cell phone, on which he is always angry about something, usually race.

One man told me in an interview that his definition of “pretty” was largely based upon an appealing texture, something very smooth.
