...what about Casey Martin? Until he first sued the Tour in 1997, Martin's claim to fame was being a teammate of Tiger Woods at Stanford. But after a federal court in Oregon in 1998 gave him the right to ride pending word from the high court, Martin went on something of a tear, qualifying for the U.S. Open in 1998 and tying for 23rd. He earned his PGA Tour card the next season, but hardly dominated at golf's highest level, finishing the 2000 season 179th on the money list and missing the cut in 15 of 29 events...
...opening night of the 54th Cannes Film Festival, can-can dancers kicked up a storm of publicity for Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge.

Tsai Ming-liang (Taiwan) and Jacob Cheung (Hong...
...LANKA Peace Talks Norwegian-led efforts to secure a truce between the government and Tamil Tiger rebels were complicated by a bomb attack on a rebel leader and demands by a leading Muslim party for a role in the peace process. Envoy Erik Solheim held talks with President Chandrika Kumaratunga and met Tamil leaders in rebel-held territory, but discussions ended without a breakthrough. Both sides agreed to continue deliberations to end the 18-year conflict...
...there are lockers in old-age homes, there are going to be some very happy lady seniors. 16 magazine (which is kinda like Tiger Beat and kinda like Seventeen, but not really as successful as either) usually fills its pages with the hottest teen stars. This month the editors decided to go a different way. A REGIS PHILBIN way. "How old are you?" Regis asks me over the phone, before saying hello. I am 28. "You are finished. I'm the only one in there who's over 28. These young studs who've been getting all the press better...
