...sport in desperate need of a makeover, the rise of the young bloods is nothing but good news. Hear that sigh of relief? It's coming from U.S.A. Track and Field headquarters in Indianapolis, Ind., because the four sprinters charged with using steroids supplied by the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative (BALCO), including Jones' boyfriend, 100-m world-record holder Tim Montgomery, didn't qualify for the Olympic team. Yes, doping continues to dog the sport of track and field; on three straight days during the trials, new cheating accusations arose. And untarnished veterans, like hurdler and former Olympic sprinting champion...
...places is the crisis more apparent than South Asia. Here, every June to September, bulging rain clouds drawn in by the back draft of India's scorching summer roll in off the Bay of Bengal, prick themselves on the Himalayas and disgorge the monsoon. This year, the rains have been unusually concentrated. In Nepal, a nation that has felled 60% of its forests in just 40 years, the waters gushed from the mountains in flash floods. By the end of last week, 255 km of roads, 76 bridges, 61 schools and 220 people had been swept away. The water then...
Kerry talks all the time about the lessons he learned in Vietnam but rarely about what he did there.

He is a direct descendant of the first Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. His great-great-grandfather was a Massachusetts Senator. Kerry has represented the state for two decades, winning re-election three times--even when voters had attractive alternatives. Compared with Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, Kerry qualifies as a state mascot. The truth is, John Kerry is from Massachusetts...
...chatter. "They've gotten good at not only picking up possible messages between plotters but analyzing information more quickly to determine what is just radical railing and what has substantial hidden meaning," says French terrorism expert Roland Jacquard. Despite the continued debate over the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, CIA and FBI officials insist that some high-level detainees have proved valuable in decoding talk among operatives. The war in Afghanistan and the global dragnet have taken out of circulation about half of bin Laden's senior lieutenants. "The kinds of people who are coming in simply...
