Did you watch plenty of the World Cup? Do you like sports but are tired of American sports focusing on natural talent and Amercentrism? Do you want more insight into another fabulous world sport: bicycling? Le Tour de France is a grueling, challening, fantastic, complex, multi-layered sport that is a fascinating balance of low and high tech, human grit, social saavy, and history. Lance Armstrong's story is much more than amazing because of his battle with cancer and his current bid to win a fourth Tour. Find out what the human body and mind is capable of by reading the following article in the latest New Yorker magazine:

Also in this month's New Yorker:
Poet Peter Schjeldahl has for well over twenty years written art reviews and criticism in Arts Magazine, the Village Voice, and now the New Yorker that I consistently find enlightening, provocative, illustrative, didactic, challenging, and entertaining. In this issue he writes about the painter Joan Mitchell's retrospective at the Whitney. If only this show would come to San Francisco; I am certain it woudl find a very engaged and appreciative audience.
