...that squares with neither history nor Orwell's vision. Who are these interlopers? The Czars? Boris Yeltsin? The IMF? It's not clear. But surely the implication--that the masses' self-rule was a foolish aberration--is not one the author, who nearly died fighting for democracy in the Spanish Civil War, would have considered a feel-good send...
...real show-stealer was the Kennedys (Pete Kennedy and his wife Maura Boudreau), who had the final performance on the Showcase Stage. So Pete had bad hair--still, when he lifted up his old guitar to thump, tweak and coax out crowd-rousing guitar solos that flew from Spanish-style romances to jazzy Broadway show tunes, you forgot all about it.

Sergio, surname Garcia, is a Tiger useta-be, a charismatic 19-year-old with a fast grin, faster club-head speed and a palpable love of the game.

Here, meanwhile, was the American, eyes glassy, agonizing over 5-ft. putts that have in the past--though not this year--been his bete noire...
...under way in London Monday in an international legal climate much different from when he was first arrested last October. Spain wants Pinochet extradited to face trial for the systematic human rights abuses committed by his military junta between 1973 and 1990 (including, but not limited to, torture on Spanish citizens). Chile?s government is arguing that extraditing Pinochet violates Chile?s sovereignty, and that if he needs to be tried it should be in a Chilean court ?- although there had appeared to be no prospect of that happening before his arrest in Britain...
