Greg seems like a typical teenager, which is to say he's enamored of green causes and a bit cocky. He also seems to have learned some lessons from drinking with his dad. "I went to a party as a freshman with all juniors," he recalls. "And there was one guy who was drinking, and he was chugging a bottle of Skyy. And they tried, 'Let's get the freshie drunk,' all that sort of stuff, and it just didn't seem that hard to me to say I wasn't going to drink...
...when he first went to Congo, and this is his first book, but not once in All Things Must Fight to Live does he allow his presence to block out the country or its people. Rather than letting the war play out on his inner stage, he becomes a bit player in a colossal drama. "There were many ways of going in, and everyone had his own reasons," writes Mealer.

Furthermore, the prospect of Croatian membership, expected in two or three years, offers opportunities. Every time a country joins...
...event. Although this race used to draw big names like former Olympian Danny Clark and Tour de France workhorse George Hincapie, as well as amateurs, organizers say attendance at this four-corner criterium (a short race course) has suffered in more recent years. To liven things up a bit, Eustice decided to bring two very different cycling cultures together on the same 3/4-mile course along the brownstone-lined streets of Harlem - the pros and the bike messengers. "I almost look at them as the artists colonizing the big race," says Eustice, who organized the event. "When you want to make...
