...trip to Pakistan. The kind of man, his House colleagues used to say, who could strut while sitting down. Still, he was elected 12 times from Lufkin, Texas--a town so conservative that it didn't vote to allow alcohol sales until 2006. Even those who disagreed with Wilson couldn't help but like him: the liberal columnist Molly Ivins wrote admiringly that he hadn't "an ounce of hypocrisy." Charlie Wilson's War, the 2007 movie about his work as the chief backer of the Afghan mujahedin who fought against the Soviets, opened with Tom Hanks, playing Wilson...

Usually, when you witness a bit of sports history, euphoria sweeps through the building. But when short-track speedskater Apolo Ohno finished third in the 1,000 meter event on Saturday night, giving him seven career Olympic medals, the most-ever by an American Winter Olympian, you couldn't help feel a little bit like ...

...world champions earned their titles without a quad, and now, after three consecutive Olympic champions winning with programs that included a successfully landed quad, Lysacek has won without one. It's no coincidence that all of these titles were won under the new scoring system. And Lysacek himself couldn't have articulated better how the new rules may be pushing elements like the quad into the deep freeze. "I used to really enjoy training the quad, and I thought it was really important to try it in every competition," Lysacek said after the short program on Tuesday. "But several times...
