...series was close, Australia nearly snatching victory in both the Tests they lost. Equally, however, a feeling pervaded large sections of the play that Australia were sliding?not out of form or luck, not struggling for confidence, but simply ill-equipped to withstand a youthful England brimming with talent, vim and ideas. As the favorites frayed, it was a time to ponder not just whether the reign was over but whether it would be a good thing for the game if it were...
...Drinking culture breaks down international barriers.” As the Silk Road Project has again shown, music also breaks down international barriers. The next evening, members of the Silk Road Ensemble in a group called China Magpie, led by Tong, played at Club Passim.

"Oh sure, I just don't speak it"). Flashy and loud, MaBBuro's vim shows up what Tennille lacks, and she was deservedly a crowd favorite. The burly A.J. Irvin, playing the stiff-lipped Squash, King's bodyguard, also has his moments...
