So go back to spring training, when every sports reporter is flying into Jupiter, Fla., to ask McGwire if he's going to break the record--as if he were going to break out some pro-wrestling rant like "Maris? Maris was a whiny schoolgirl compared to me. Boo-ya." Or look at the opening of the season, when the SportsCenter announcers started to calculate his home-run pace.

In spite of the flaws present in his approach or the occasional Elijian woe-is-me depression, Kohl's enthusiasm and unbroken spirit motivate and inspire, giving a bright point of light in the oft-maligned field of teachers and public education...
When Street won the silver at Lillehammer in 1994, the freckle-faced 22-year-old instantly vaulted beyond the celebrity of any run-of-the-hill medalist, thanks to her peek-a-boo catchy name, a superabundance of personality and a mountain-hippie upbringing. During the next two years, she matured into a dominant athlete as well. She not only became the first American to win a World Cup downhill title but did it two years in a row. Now she's rich too, from endorsement deals with the likes of Nike, United Airlines and Chap Stick. Her signature cross...
