...disease-carrying insects. Nearly all the men, including Kermit and Roosevelt, fell prey to the suffocating fevers and bone-grinding chills of malaria. The jungle was also home to poisonous snakes. One night a coral snake slithered from under a fallen tree and sank its fangs into Roosevelt's foot. But for his thick leather boots, he would have died an agonizing death...
...face it - the comparison just isn't fair. At all. Remember the highlight clips, the posters from the 1980s, when a skinny Michael Jordan soared above the seven-foot stiffs of the day, his knees knocking their noses, for a ferocious, "did that just happen?" dunk? Well, as amazing as he is, anointing Miami Heat superstar guard and NBA Finals MVP Dwyane Wade the rightful heir to His Airness is just silly - just as it was before with such flameouts as Harold Miner, or stars in their own right like Vince Carter and Kobe Bryant...

(See what would happen to the accused 9/11 plotters...
...gala opening on June 25; just five days before, Nouvel will be at home in Paris for the inauguration of another major work dedicated to what he calls "selective dematerialization." He has taken a prime parcel at the heart of the city, along the Seine at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and artfully hidden a world-class museum in it. His Musée du Quai Branly is perhaps the most radical expression yet of Nouvel's self-proclaimed pride in being "an architect of context."
