...below 70 being the generally accepted threshold for mental retardation - has become a focal point for yet another emotional debate over Texas's execution practices. Cruz was convicted 12 years ago of the rape and stabbing murder of 24-year-old Kelly Donovan, an Air Force linguist in San Antonio. Cruz has confessed, and, his advocates argue, shows anguished remorse. His is not, however, the kind of remorse one might expect from an adult, Cruz's lawyers insist. Cruz's comprehension of his crime and the implications of his actions are childlike, similar to the reaction of a five-year...

SHANGHAI--We've seen a lot. Thanks to the Din & Tonics, and more importantly, Harvard University, we are circumnavigating the globe this summer, hitting such exotic locales as Athens, Bangkok, Kathmandu and San Antonio, Texas. It's been a fantastic trip thus far, complete with nightlife adventures unsuitable for print and, undeniably, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

That's shocking--I mean, that they were caught. For years I.O.C. czar Juan Antonio Samaranch has exhibited a pronounced ambivalence about drug use, and certainly his stance has allowed a number of golden boys and girls to keep their images shiny while doping. Careful athletes can easily beat the system that is in place to catch drug abusers. Unscrupulous sports federations can tailor testing schedules and tip off their constituents. Steroid creams can be flushed from the system in 24 to 48 hours. And for some of the most commonly used enhancers, such as erythropoietin (EPO), there are still...

...title (Joao, Voice and Guitar) says it all--in Brazilian. For his first solo album in nearly a decade, the master of bossa nova opts for stripped-down simplicity. In these 10 songs (which include such Antonio Carlos Jobim-penned standards as Chega de Saudade and Desafinado), the only sounds you hear are the whispery purring of Gilberto's voice and the surefooted, gracefully swaying beat of his acoustic guitar. Who could ask for anything more? This is music to dream by, if your dreams are sensual and melancholy and hopelessly romantic...

...Perhaps aware that the facts of the fiscal story wasn't going to support him for long, when Gore landed in San Antonio he bounced away from the budget issue, complaining instead about Bush's tax cuts (too many) and health-care spending (not enough), and then flat out insulting his audience by crediting Bush's winning personality as the main reason for his popularity. (Translation: You're so dumb, you've been had.) Gore trails by 37 points in Texas, and he sure wasn't there figuring to snag the state's electoral jackpot. The message...
