...South African golfer's name at the top of the leader board, and it has resolutely stayed there. Since that victory Goosen has won six more tournaments - and with them over $4 million. He now ranks fourth in the world, and currently tops the European rankings, the Volvo Order of Merit. It was bad luck that slowed his progress - but it also helped him. As an amateur Goosen was considered as good as his countryman Ernie Els. But he was struck by lightning while playing in South Africa, leading to health problems. He turned pro in 1990 but made little...

She has spiky hair; the two of them look like they belong in a Volvo ad (drivers, not passangers.) Another book, [title here] catalogues the “golden age of video games”, reflecting perhaps the simultaneous vogue of the eighties and video game culture. The Final Fantasy music video played on MTV.

CinéMagique, a clever retrospective of memorable moments from American and European film, does that well. But this is still family vacation terri-tory. Will that Flying Carpet ride, one (admittedly cool) stunt show and a work-shop where...
While my mathematically inclined readers scramble to figure out just how fast I was going, I should point out that during my sadly-vanished adolescence, the only car I ever drove was a sturdy 1989 Volvo station wagon. The wagon was a lumbering maroon beast, well-equipped to take out a panzer on a muddy Belgian field, but utterly incapable of breaking the 70 m.p.h. barrier without shuddering and shedding loose parts across Connecticut’s crowded highways. On this fateful day, however, I was driving my friend Sarah’s spanking new Mercedes-Benz, in which...
