Los Angeles-based Wordtheatre lines up actors to read short stories, a pairing that shows both in a flattering light. Perhaps that's why they get such glittering lineups -- it's a chance for actors to dig into excellent writing. On Nov. 29, Wordtheater takes the stage in London.  

A WOMAN who shed three stone has finally been able to fulfil her lifelong dream of throwing herself out of a plane. Lucy Brown, 32, always wanted to take part in a skydive, but was told she was too big. At 16st 6lbs, Mrs Brown was too heavy.

ITV dinosaur drama Primeval is to be saved from extinction... by the BBC. TV Biz revealed how bosses axed the cult drama in the summer after bean-counters claimed it was too expensive. But last night ITV's dreaded rival offered a lifeline by stepping in to help pay for it.  

THE TWO BEST STAYERS IN THE FIELD, "Fuhriffic" and "Beltana", fought out a gripping finish to the $5,000 Crutchers IGA Grenfell Cup (2000 metres) on Saturday. With several long uphill sections the tough but fair Grenfell track sorts the wheat from the chaff and "Fuhriffic" and "Beltana" came right away from their eight rivals over the final 400 metres. A midrace move saw "Fuhriffic" (Lucy Brown) advance from midfield to become the pacemaker.

Biological anthropologist Helen Fisher and neuroscientist Lucy Brown of Rutgers University, New York, scanned their brains to see if neurological responses showed they were "in love." Geneticist Eric Holzle, founder of DNA-based dating service scientificmatch.com, took DNA swabs to assess their genetic compatibility, while relationship therapist Terry Sterrenberg of the Gottman Institute spent a day analyzing how they interact.

Bob Howe from Rylstone is an excellent trainer of stayers and he has a great chance to win the Australian Hotel Winter Cup (1800m) with Camiling on Monday. A win would add to the many Cups won by Howe with stayers. With Daniel Edmonds in the saddle, 12/1 outsider Camiling ploughed through the heavy going for a last-start win over Tell Me Some (Jay Ford) and Fuhriffic (Lucy Brown) in a Rating 72 Handicap over 2000m at Wellington.
