...avoidable if you know what you are doing," says Iossi, who collided with trees and suffered a brain hemorrhage while kiteboarding in unstable weather three years ago. He is now fine and still kiteboards. "People need to take plenty of lessons and, as in any other sport, be cautious...
...become more presidential, if such a thing is possible for a fellow who has seemed prematurely presidential ever since prep school. But the portentous nature of the prize--he will accept the nomination of the Democratic Party this week--has enveloped him like a shroud. He is more cautious than in past conversations, less willing to play with ideas. Or maybe this is just his famous homestretch focus kicking in. My questions are a distraction. His mind is on the big speech. He doesn't want to think about painful times. I try a different tack and ask, "What...
...says. Keen, the single mother of a 10-year-old, worries that even with a 3% raise--her first raise in two years--to her $36,000 salary, meeting the rising interest rates on a $3,000 home-repair loan will be a stretch.

After all the ostriches, impalas, kudu, warthogs, springbok, giraffes, hippos, zebras and waterbuck are sold, the auction has raised $1.5 million, well down on last year...
...sense, the Vegas trend is an old story--mindless escapism in the mold of Aaron Spelling's Fantasy Island and, yes, the Robert Urich Vega$ (though, for his part, Spelling says some of the new, decency-cautious series "make Vegas seem like a church"). But the new programs also show how some of our mores have changed. Consider the casino-based series, which place the viewers' sympathies with management--that is, with mammoth businesses predicated on systematically beating the little guy, one hand at a time. TV once made populist heroes of rascally underdogs like Bo and Luke Duke...
