...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. The I.O.C. should call an emergency session and make a new rule applying to all sports, then send...

...wouldn't have had Mulder and Scully consummate their relationship off-screen last season, would you? "[Viewers] will have their prurience indulged." Could Scully turn out not to be pregnant at all? "I would never assume anything in 'The X-Files.' But I think that would be a real cheat... It would be like bringing back a dead character."

Then there are the complaints about the quality of his work. Collins once said that Venter's map would read like Cliffs Notes or Mad magazine.

(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...

...Wheatstone Bridge-double differential CH3C6H2(NO2)3 set. These people are mere cogs; automata; they simply feel to make sure you have punched the right holes. As they cannot think, they cannot be impressed; they are clods. The only way to beat their system is to cheat.) In the humanities and social sciences, it is well to remember, there is a man (occasionally a woman), a human type filling out your picture postcard. What does he want to read? How, in a word, can he be snowed...
