...requires practitioners to run with the hand and foot on one side of the body moving in sync. (In normal locomotion, people swing the right arm forward with the left leg.) Out on the track, Suetsugu's stealthy ninja stride makes the traditional runners look like a bunch of Forrest Gumps with ramrod-straight backs, high-kicking knees and arms churning like something out of a cartoon. The technique obviously works: in addition to his 200-m bronze last year, Suetsugu took a surprise silver in the 100-m at a Grand Prix meet in Zagreb in June, ahead...

Even coffee shops are getting gussied up. By day a sandwich shop, the chain Cosi by night tries to transform itself into a sleek wine bar. The company lost $26 million last year on this Cinderella transformation, but Cosi's executive chairman, Bill Forrest, expects the new look to be profitable in 2004.
