South Koreans won both the men's and women's events at Barcelona, and they're aiming for the same in Atlanta. The U.S. men--Butch Johnson, Justin Huish and Rod White--may contend for a team medal...

As his mistress replies wearily, "That's probably what my husband says to his mistress about me." Loli is indeed constant, until she meets Marijo (Balasko), a butch musician. Marijo fulfills all the popular lesbian stereotypes: she has short hair, a gruff manner and a weight problem; in the kitchen she's better with wrenches than with sauces. But she also has a knack for intimacy, and that's what Loli desperately needs. A good-night kiss from...
