...really tough,” said junior No. 5 Audrey Duboc. “It came down to a few matches. It was pretty even.” Though the Crimson remains undefeated in league play and could get another crack at the Bantams when it hosts the Howe Cup national tournament in March, the loss is cause for concern. While Trinity is unquestionably one of the top teams in the country—before Harvard topped the Bantams twice last season, the Crimson had not beaten its rivals since 2001—the biggest contest for Harvard looked...
...antiglobalists and local environmentalists. Still, most Torinesi think the Games will boost their city. "This is a fantastic opportunity to give Torino an international showcase," says Grissiotto. And even sophisticated Italians may decide to join the party if native athletes start to pick up gold. After winning five World Cup races so far this season, slalom specialist Giorgio Rocca could fill the giant boots of legendary skier Alberto Tomba. Carolina Kostner gives Italy its first real shot at women's figure-skating glory in years. And a strong contingent of cross-country skiers and lugers could stand on the podium...
...back after a two-year hiatus, but lost to Rohbock for one of two driver spots on the Olympic team. Got it? "There's so much drama, it's ridiculous," says Rohbock.

In a poll taken before Korea was a co-host of the 2002 football World Cup, Ohno topped Osama bin Laden as the person Koreans least wanted to attend. Neither showed. For nearly four years, it wasn't safe for Ohno to skate in Korea, but in October he arrived in Seoul for a short-track World Cup event. At the airport he was greeted by 100 police...
...Hanssen Pigott's sister was used daily for rhubarb. "The usefulness of her pots is very important to her," explains Smith, "and even the works in the still life groups today could be used if people wished to do so; but people tend not to want to use a cup that costs $A25,000." But her modernist instinct goes beyond mere utility. In the mid-'80s, having returned to Australia after 15 years living and working in England, France and the U.S., Hanssen Pigott began to exhibit for the first time what she calls her "inseparable bowls," the ceramic clusters...
