...from him in that fight, more was taken out in this. "It hurts. That's another one staring me in the face." But he praised Hagler--"The man showed his greatness"--and held out hope for himself at 26. "This is not the end for me. I'm a winner." In a glut of divisions, he yet holds a superwelterweight title--"nothing to cry over," as Hagler said, though not much occasion for joy. The contemporary champions introduced before the fight heard fewer cheers of recognition than the ancients, and all of their ovations were drowned out by the longing...
There is no board and there are no right or wrong answers. The winner is the first player to get rid of all the question cards, by correctly predicting others' answers. Responses to questions about sexual, familial and business dilemmas can be jonly yes, no or depends. A player may bluff (or lie, to be more scrupulously plainspoken).

But his directorial debut Peacock, surprise winner of the Silver Bear at this year's Berlin International Film Festival, is a bird of a far less flashy feather. A portrait of a family's struggles in a small Chinese city in the 1970s, Peacock draws its considerable power from its complex script (by the novelist Li Qiang...

There are 20 events: eight field events and 12 running events for the men and 19—missing the 10,000 meter run—for the women. Traditionally, the Americans have held an edge in field events while the British have distinguished themselves in the distance races...
