Bill Atanasoff was a former City-TV cameraman who was struck by a driver on November 9, 2010, while on assignment. Bill suffered severe head trauma, a broken neck, broken pelvis and two broken legs, but his story was not a sad one, but an inspiring one. Peter Gross called me
From a distance, table tennis looks simple: two paddles, a light ball and a modest table. Watch high-level play carefully and the scale changes. The real drama lies in how little time exists between recognising spin, moving the feet, choosing a stroke and preparing for the next ball. The sport
A car can be mechanically sound and relatively new yet still look much older than it really is. Often, the problem isn't the colour of the vehicle or even how frequently it's washed.
