Rob Hulse earned the praise of his manager, Nigel Clough, after marking his return to Derby County's starting line-up with two well-taken goals as his side halted a three-game losing run to beat 10-man Coventry City at Pride Park.

“Yes — I mean, no!” He knew she was teasing him, but couldn’t help flushing with embarrassment. “You know precisely what I mean, Shell. Until this month I’ve never seen a female in trousers. Or with bare legs, for that matter. Now, dressed like that, you look so right.” Mag blinked at him over her glasses. “Guess I didn’t really believe it deep...

"“A license,” Titus finished for him. This was the tamest, most milk-and-water society he could imagine. No smoking, no booze, no guns — surely the entire 21st century could not be equally bloodless? If it was, he might as well cut his throat at once before he perished of galloping ennui. Even those thrice-damned Doomsters had let him down, lying low instead of taking another...

"“Antarctica is too exciting,” Piotr said. “We want someplace boring. Where nobody goes and nothing happens. And I have just the thing. My family leases a beach house on St. Simon’s Island, in a gated community down the Georgia coast. Private, exclusive, and relaxing.” “What does one do at a beach?” Dr. Piotr sparkled with enthusiasm. “Lie on the...

they'd know who Brian Clough was. Time magazine does the introductions via a review of The Damned United . As for The Damned United, American audiences may find some aspects of the film unbelievable. Did British soccer players really have hair like Klaus Kinski's at the end of Aguirre ? (Yes.) Was northern England in the '70s really that damp, dark and miserable? (No, it was worse.) But the film is...

South Yorkshire Golden towers now gild the slopes above the Porter Valley as beech and horse chestnut turn to glory. This is a very appropriate time to be standing here below the site of long gone Whiteley Wood Hall, former home of my great uncle Arnold Muir Wilson. Sheffield lawyer, pioneer motorist, explorer and mountaineer, he died suddenly 100 years ago in Vancouver while on a world tour. The...

"“I’ll overlook the deficiency this time,” Titus said with mock severity. He spread the undersized paper out on the counterpane. But soon he had to admit Dr. Lash was right. The New York Times was almost completely incomprehensible: not because any given word was beyond him, but because he had no context in which to place each sentence. What was the pork-barrel? If they were...
