...week, and Tanzi's son Stefano was questioned by prosecutors. The size of the alleged fraud could make Parmalat the biggest corporate scandal ever in Europe, easily on a par with Enron or WorldCom in the U.S. Parmalat filed for bankruptcy on Christmas Eve, and corporate-turnaround expert Enrico Bondi is trying to salvage what he can of the firm, which has 36,000 employees in 30 countries and top-selling brands including Parmalat uht milk and Archway cookies. On Friday, dozens of company workers and small shareholders in Collecchio - Parmalat's headquarters and Tanzi's birthplace just outside Parma...

...such importance. The decision again spotlit RAI 's troubled board, whose seats are traditionally divvied up among majority and opposition Members of Parliament. Only board president Antonio Baldassarre and another center-right loyalist remain. Three others quit in November to protest Baldassarre's leadership and alleged partisanship. Sandro Bondi, spokesman for Berlusconi's Forza Italia party, said RAI's leadership is more independent than ever, though he conceded that "politics continues to influence the world of television."

...nowhere to win the platform diving on a broken foot. Chinese veteran Xiong Ni nailed his last dive to become the only man besides Greg Louganis to win back-to-back titles off the springboard. American volleyballers Dain Blanton and Eric Fonoimoana kicked sand in Brazil's face at Bondi Beach. The softball and baseball tournaments were more competitive than ever. The U.S. batswomen lost thrice before storming back to win the gold, while the batsmen did the unprecedented, beating Cuba 4-0 for the title. Finally, there was that track meet, with the performance that will long live...

...knew if Marion Jones would win five, if the U.S. would rule the pool, if the sun would shine at Bondi. But heading into Sydney, everyone knew drugs would have a big impact on the Games. Did they ever. The news that C.J. Hunter--a sidelined shot putter who is much better known as Jones' husband--had recently tested positive for steroids, became an overshadowing story.
