...seems possible to be a fan of a team that's based miles from where you have ever lived, but I suspect my fandom's origins are more common. I didn't have much choice in the matter. Both my parents were born in tiny row-houses a stone's throw from Liverpool's stadium. My father took me to my first game as a small child, and from the first moment I saw what was behind the familiar brick walls - All those people! That wall of noise! The forbidden, dangerous smells of cigarettes and beer! - I was hooked...
...Under pressure from members of Congress and corporate executives who wanted access to the convenient downtown airport, five sources in aviation and government say that David Stone, the head of the Transportation Security Administration, is planning to announce tomorrow that a limited number of carefully screened general aviation flights will be able to return to Reagan National in three months. The private aircraft, the government sources told TIME.com, will be under the most rigorous security measures of any private aircraft anywhere in the US. Only 48 flights a day will be allowed into Washington and they will be able...
...Sith-size hits win Cannes' Palme d'Or - as L'Enfant, another dour view of the Belgian underclass by the brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, did at Saturday night's closing ceremony.

Our choice is the Three Burials tandem of Melissa Leo and January Jones: one strong and maternally sexy, the other brutalized but unbowed, each so arresting, the source of so much of the film's wayward life, that The Three Burials inevitably sags when they disappear...
...here, and a good one, driven on by the manic playing of Matt Tong, rock's best new drummer in years. Bruce Springsteen Devils & Dust The title track from the Boss's new album starts with a gentle acoustic strum, gains steam on the backs of evocative nouns (blood, stone, bone) and peaks with a harmonica solo. It's nothing new, which is to say, it's very good. Martha Wainwright Bloody Mother f******* A****** The dry, ecstatic voice is a legacy of papa Loudon and mama Kate McGarrigle, but the talent for profanity is all her own. This roar...
