The city has changed greatly since that time, but its people are much the same. Some are rich, some are poor, some are happy, some are sad, some have found love, some are looking for love. O. Henry's famous short stories — sensitive, funny, sympathetic — give us vivid pictures of the everyday lives of these New Yorkers. |

Some call it football, some call it soccer, and to others it's the beautiful game. By and name, it's a sport with some fascinating stories. There is murder in Colombia, and a game that lasts for two days where many players never see the ball. There's the French writer who learnt lessons about life from playing football, and the women players who had to leave the club grounds because Women's football isn't nice. The cups, the leagues, the World Cup finals, the stars, the rules — they're all part of the world's favourite sport, the beautiful game. |
