Even Bradshaw admits that this year has been special. "Last year I throw a pass to Swann, it's a good pass, a good catch, and somebody is right there to tackle him. This year I throw the same pass, and he zigs around four guys and goes into the end zone. Call it luck or magic or whatever, I like it." So do the Pittsburgh fans. As rugged as their team, they will be waving those orange-and-black towels in Miami to cheer on their country boy quarterback as he struggles to win a third Super Bowl...

...Passion, in Colette's experience, dominated life, and she made her theme the pursuit of love, the treacherous ambiguities of sex.

Henri Jammes." Jammes -Henry James-had written that he thought Swann 's Way the greatest French novel since the Charterhouse of Parma, but feared that Proust, like Stendhal, would never be recognized in his lifetime...

...movie. This Anna has the capaciousness and subtlety that the film versions, good as they were, necessarily lacked. Tolstoy had originally thought of calling his novel Two Marriages, and a major theme of the book is the contrast between the happily allied Kitty (Caroline Langrishe) and Levin (Robert Swann) and the ill-matched Karenins. The series is able to develop that subplot and prove, so far as Tolstoy was concerned anyway, the thesis of the novel's famous opening sentence: "All happy families are alike, but an unhappy family is unhappy after its own fashion...
