...picturesquely berserk. Hollywood called, with Rosemary's Baby (1968), which imprisoned the pregnant Mia Farrow in a Manhattan condo to be preyed on by Satanists. By the end of the decade, and ever since, "Polanskian" could have been as evocative a summary of a director's nightmare world as "Hitchcockian." (See the best movies of the decade...
...wrist in question belonged to Carol, a super-busy young mom, married to Peter, one of my best buds from college. Late-spawning academic types, they live in a city of world-famous hospitals. The picture with the e-mail was a familiar x-ray to every orthopedist. Carol's wrist was sporting a nasty fracture of the distal radius - the larger of the two long bones in the forearm, just at the joint.

(After some debate, no one was game enough to try a flaming redheaded slut.) Breitbart and the rest...
...When asked how she will deal with sports celebrity in the post-Woods world, in which the tabloids, websites and televisions cameras can threaten even a pristine reputation, Vonn seems nonplussed. "Well, I'm married" - to her ski coach, Thomas Vonn, since 2007 - "so I don't have that problem," she says. "But, um, I guess [Woods] is married too." Then she turns serious. "I mean, I guess if you have secrets, you have an issue. I've kind of been open about everything." (See TIME's photo-essay "The World of Mrs. Tiger Woods...
