More surprising was the incident in New York City that same month involving Antoine Yates, a public-housing resident who kept a 425-lb. tiger in his apartment. The city caught wise when Yates showed up at a local hospital with an injury he claimed was caused by a pit bull. Police closed in on his apartment and found the tiger. The animal was sent to an Ohio sanctuary, and Yates was evicted, having manifestly violated the public-housing rule allowing him one petunder...
Just last month, another tiger shook up New York City after it escaped from a circus in Queens. The animal caused a multicar crack-up but no serious injuries when it strolled down the Jackie Robinson Parkway and lay down on a nearby street. A handler lured the tiger back into its cage and returned it to the circus...
Things did not work out so well a couple of weeks earlier when Bobo, a 600-lb. declawed tiger, escaped from a compound in Florida, where it had been kept by Steve Sipek, 62, who played Tarzan in movies in the 1960s and '70s.

Leung and Cheung, who smoldered so wistfully in Wong's In the Mood for Love, get to express the gamut of emotions as a couple who know each other's tricks. They are Rhett and Scarlett, Tristan and Isolde, and they end their time together in an image so startling and beautiful that...
