...Guard--not to leave the military but to join the Army. He wants to go back to Iraq, never mind the missing leg. After all, with its high-tech Renegade foot, his new one has made him faster and funnier. Why test fate a second time? Because he loves the military, loves guns and loved his job as a scout. "I'm going back to be a trigger puller, not a bullet catcher," he says, reasoning that the odds of being blown up twice are pretty low. His mom, Rhetta Drennan, is worried but resigned, especially since her daughter...

But last month's roadside bomb attack on ABC News co-anchor Bob Woodruff and his cameraman Doug Vogt put the war and the fate of the wounded back in the headlines--and more important, in our thoughts...

It is still far from...
...proud town was in need of a lift when it bid for the Winter Games in 1998. As the bulk of Fiat's production moved away, the once-elegant city feared it might share the rusting fate of American carmaking capitals. So in the past decade, Torino has worked to rebrand itself as a center of scientific research and high-tech industry, and as a dynamic cultural destination. It boasts an archeological museum that possesses more artifacts from ancient Egypt - including the sarcophagus of Nefertiti - than anywhere outside of Cairo. The city's symbol, the Mole Antonelliana, a dome-plus...
