...Similarly, Miller has his own ideas about training that have clashed with his coaches'. The USSA, like most sports federations, uses standard testing to evaluate athletes. That, says Miller, causes athletes to train for the test, not the sport. He believes that ski racing requires a different approach to fitness. "My team has been very unreceptive about the fact that I consistently show them that I train slightly differently than they do, that I consistently show them that I am in better shape for ski racing than anyone else on the team," he points out. And why wouldn...
...approach clearly works. He has won two Olympic medals, four world championship golds and 19 World Cup events. In a sport in which athletes tend to specialize in either the speed events (downhill, super-G) or technical events (slalom, giant slalom), Miller does it all. In the first race after his apology, Miller smoked the slalom part of the day's super combined event (downhill and slalom), putting him more than a second ahead of the field.

And he probably had a beer afterward. That probably made him happy too. [This article consists of a complex diagram. Please see hardcopy of magazine...

Klein should examine our President's actions rather than his words...

The first step would be a Security Council statement urging Iran to comply fully with inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency. If the Iranians refuse, the U.S. would urge the Security Council to issue a legal demand to Iran to suspend enrichment work. If all else fails, the U.S. and its allies are likely to pursue "targeted sanctions" against Tehran, such as restricting the regime's access to international financial channels and squeezing its ability...
