For two full sets, Alexander Zverev was confused and listless, his body language as poor as his winner-to-error ratio against Pablo Carreno Busta in the U.S. Open semifinals Friday.

Zverev double-faulted and smacked his left high. He put a backhand into the net to cede the opening set and covered his face with both hands. He netted a forehand early in the next set, then turned a forlorn face toward his guest box and put his palms up.

When he pushed a backhand long after 1 hour... Читать дальше...

That's apparent to the children and adults tickled by "There Is a Bird on Your Head!" or "We Are in a Book!" or any of the author and illustrator's other much-loved works.

But the former "Sesame Street" writer is after more than giggles with his new HBO Max special out Thursday, "Don't Let the Pigeon Do Storytime!"

Willems' intent is to perform what he calls a "shame-ectomy" on adults, freeing... Читать дальше...
