...June 28, maneuvering under low clouds and a drenching rain. The mission, code-named Operation Redwing, was to find and engage the enemy. But in late afternoon, the commandos sent back a one-line message to the "Ark," a coalition-forces operations room in Kabul. Accompanied by a warning chime, it read, "Troops in contact." Translation: a fire fight was under...
...never returns, Theismann should be remembered by every kid who ever dreams of having his own restaurant and actress. By untold measure, he is the most embarrassing quarterback ever to succeed in the National Football League. From the moment he rerhymed his name at Notre Dame to chime with the Heisman trophy, he has provoked more winces than any other basically decent fellow in sports, and without once wincing himself...

...students are a publicist's--or an evangelist's--dream. What do they like about the camp? Unity, they cry, and spirit. "We're psyched, we're hyper, we're excited," says Heather Toomey. Everyone's so supportive, the girls chime, and everything's so positive, and it's all so inspirational. Coming to this camp from a rival establishment, says Kellie Rich, 15, is like going "from darkness to light." The inner cheerleader cannot help flowering. "We're pretty spirited," says Andrea Bergman. "We've just got trouble with our moves...
