...untrue" recent press reports that claim Fischer already has a wife and child in the Philippines whom he sees every few months. While legal experts say marrying Watai might substantially improve Japan's willingness to let Fischer stay in the country, Fischer's application is now caught in a catch-22: one of the documents he needs to submit to get married in Japan is a valid passport...
...other nations who had to pull out of the chronically drug-plagued sport because of failed doping tests. Olympic fever diverted Shanghai's residents from the oppressive heat blanketing the city, and plenty of bars cranked their air-cons and stayed open all night so that sports fans could catch every second of live action in Athens. With hundreds of millions of Chinese tuning in to the Games, state broadcasters admitted that viewers were even being siphoned away from the endless documentaries celebrating the 100th anniversary of Deng Xiaoping's birth.

...huge impression on cell-phone and PDA vendors. Nokia, Siemens, Samsung, Sony, Ericsson, Microsoft and PalmSource have licensed RIM's e-mail software, helping the company ring up $594.6 million in revenues in 2003, making it almost double its size of a year earlier.

But most people have little sense of how he got there, or that, once upon a time, he was just...
...Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), an independent testing body created in 1999. WADA will forward its results to the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.), which can then bar athletes from competing if they test positive for any of hundreds of illegal or prohibited drugs. Since its inception, WADA has been playing catch-up with better-informed and better-equipped athletes, some of whom can pay their way into the world of designer drugs created to evade detection. But the agency has started to close the gap. At the 2002 Winter Games, WADA tested the arriving athletes and surprised them with a more...
