...better to take in the stunning views. Expert trekkers can make it in 12 hours, but it's more fun to spread the trip across two days, allowing for a night's rest under the stars. There are several organized treks from Darjeeling, and you can get a bed at the government-owned trekker's bungalow at Sandakphu; for more information contact the Tourist Bureau...
...confronting crooked pols on 60 Minutes. But when MIKE WALLACE challenged some New York City cops who were questioning his double-parked limo driver last week, the newsman got arrested for disorderly conduct. The police claimed Wallace, 86, lunged at them. "I find it difficult to lunge into bed," says CBS's gray inquisitor, who was picking up a takeout dinner at the time.

...irresistible formula for concocting the most popular Olympic event of the first week. Start with an unroofed pool venue, which became a giant, boisterous tanning bed during the scorching morning races.

In the end, American teenager Michael Phelps did not reach the prize he was aiming for - the most gold medals won in a single Games - but it would be churlish to suggest that his haul of six gold and two bronze was anything less...
...much cargo as we're going to be allowed to take. About twice the size of our sleeping bags, they will carry a meager array of clothes and, if we're lucky, keep them dry. After putting in two pairs of thick socks - one for bed, one for around camp - I add the pair I'll wear during the day, the pair that will stay wet, and keep my feet wet, for the entire trip. With no room for luxuries like a hairbrush, I find space to stash away some chocolate. When we meet at the bus for the drive...
