Marion Jones, one of the world's loveliest women and demonstrably the fastest, is sitting before a mirror having makeup applied--a superfluous act. She is being prepped for the first of two shoots she will submit to this afternoon. Hotshot photogs have been flown in from the States because Jones has agreed to give them some of her time--and time is precious in the world of Marion Jones. Every minute between now and Sept. 22 has been carefully planned...
Here's how realistic it is in the sprints. The night before, this rippled 5-ft. 10-in. racing machine ran away with her opponents' gold-medal dreams before 70,000 track-crazed Belgians. Jones, not known for her starts, popped the second fastest reaction time in a nine-woman field and plowed through a headwind to a 10.83 clocking to win the 100 m. In Zurich a few weeks earlier, she had a terrible start, then chased down the pack, nipping fellow American Inger Miller at the wire. When Jones is slow out of the blocks, she wins. When...
...Online education draws most of its revenue from employer-sponsored training, but the industry is increasingly looking to the attractive demographic of baby boomers and seniors - now the fastest-growing Internet population. That group grew 18.4% in 1999, according to research firm Media Metrix. And it's not composed of casual users: adults 50 and over actually spend 6.3 more days per month logged on the Net than do 18-to-24-year-olds...
Finding a receptive jury shouldn't be hard. The area around Coeur d'Alene is a wonderland of snow-capped mountains, turquoise lakes and trout-filled streams. The region is a magnet for families fleeing congested cities--Kootenai County is one of the state's fastest-growing areas--but civic leaders feel that its allure to industry and tourism has been marred by its association with Butler's Aryans. "No one's calculated how much revenue's been lost," says Jonathan Coe, president of Coeur d'Alene's Chamber of Commerce. With 33,000 people, the city recorded 11 hate...
...trials with a time of 21.94 sec., and two four-person relays, the 4-100m and the 4-400m. Jones hasn't competed much at 400m - the way meets are arranged, it's hard to fit in. But her one 400m this year produced the second fastest time in the world. Too bad she doesn't practice. Not that she lacks for activity. If she is to claim gold in all five events, she'll have to run at least 10 races, including qualifying heats, and take as many as nine jumps, in nine days...
