...tombs' unprecedented state of preservation have astounded archaeologists, some of whom have compared it to the discovery of King Tut's tomb in 1922. Even Tut's burial chamber had been partly looted, however. These tombs appear to have remained undisturbed since they were sealed some 2,000 years ago--more than 1,300 years after Tut, at a time when Egypt and much of the Middle East was part of the Roman Empire...
When first we glimpsed Agassi just over a decade ago, he was a skinny teenager with an omigosh attitude. He was a teen heartthrob, a proto-Leo with a roaring forehand and a leonine mane (hair, yes, Andre once had hair, streaked with fancy colors).

A year ago, DONNA BRENNAN, 54, was found dead in her Rio Rancho, N.M., home. She had been suffering from multiple sclerosis for more than 20 years, but an autopsy revealed she died from a lethal dose of pentobarbital. A neighbor told police that the morning Brennan died, she had been visited by a man named George. The authorities identified him as GEORGES REDING...
