...surely reach a tipping point, and it will be a sublime piece of cultural irony if foxhunting is what does it. But if you think of what a country means, as George Orwell once wrote, it isn't an idea. It's familiar things, practices, habits: heavy coins, warm beer, monarchs and frightened foxes. There will always be an England, we reassure ourselves. But some Brits are beginning to worry that unless they stand up and do something--maybe sooner rather than later--there...
...this Sunday's contest in Tampa, about all I want is a well-played game, plenty of canned beer and some tasty dip.

...special lifetime achievement Tony; in Norwalk, Connecticut. Best known for her eccentric character roles, Heckart first won recognition on Broadway in 1953 for her portrayal of middle-aged Rosemary Sydney in the love story Picnic. DIED. ALFRED "FREDDY" HENRY HEINEKEN, 78, third-generation owner of the Heineken beer empire responsible for building the brand into the world's third-largest brewer; in Noordwijk, Netherlands. Obsessed with advertising and marketing, Heineken designed the green bottle and logo that transformed the Dutch tipple into a global brand...
