Today in fiction

J.R.R. Tolkien

Two cheeseballs, no waiting

The week in dirt

"A dangerous step backwards"

Everybody has one

Blue Glow

Too bloody much

Return of the washed-up Clintonites!

Bushed!

Criminals, idiots, pickpockets!

Showtime for the NBA

Letters: Lumpen gangstas, Manilow's roadie and good parenting

The pregnant pariah

My father's bed

Remembering the king of zydeco

The poison pill

Better dead than fat

The water in Cairo in summer

Life after Eazel
