...sail, hoping not to be voted off the island for bad behavior. Our kids are perfectly manageable, but I feared a reprise of the cutthroat game of Monopoly the six adults had played back in 1991, after which I was forced to apologize for cheating. (I know, being the banker is no excuse.) I needn't have worried. We played Ping-Pong, a sport in which it's hard to cheat if you're not that good to begin with and if you've had a little wine to boot...
...I.O.C. needs to do two things immediately: develop a spine, and federalize. The only way to catch a cheat is with unannounced, out-of-competition testing, and that's where the focus should be in the next eight weeks. Historically the I.O.C. has delegated decision making to individual sports federations, but that policy is not working when it comes to drugs. A third of the 28 federations have yet to agree to out-of-competition tests in advance of the Sydney Games.

(Ironically, Celera suffered a setback when some of the government data turned out to be contaminated with nonhuman sequences...
...movie during a May 30 meeting, after the studio had already laid out millions in production costs and made Dieter the Teutonic tent pole of its summer 2001 schedule. Myers, who is thinking of countersuing, released the following statement: "I cannot, in good conscience, accept $20 million and cheat moviegoers who pay their hard-earned money for my work by making a movie with an unacceptable script." Hopefully, similar problems can be avoided in the Coffee Talk screenplay...
