...Turion processor, a 60-GB hard drive, 512 MB of RAM, a recordable CD drive with DVD playback and built-in wi-fi. For $50 you can add a DVD burner. Bonus for your social conscience: for every sale, HP is donating $50 to the Lance Armstrong Foundation...
...Bush remains forever an optimist but that even he recognizes his limits. When he went biking with Lance Armstrong in Crawford earlier this month, the two, at one point, approached a particularly steep and rocky hill. Bush "wouldn't even contemplate going up it," recalls a senior Bush official. For his part, Armstrong cruised up the incline. A White House military aide made it part of the way up but "Lance just buried him" and Bush was in awe of his stamina.

The World Anti-Doping Agency has championed the cause of retroactive testing, but it has no authority to go back to 1999.
