...will be accepted into a pod is impossible to predict. He also has to "unlearn" what he was taught during his long years in captivity. Bit by bit, he has had to be distanced from humans, and his trainers reluctantly have had to drop, albeit gradually, the affectionate fuss they made over him. Physically, too, Keiko has had to be conditioned for a different life. The easy parts were training him to swim faster and for longer periods and, using weighted balls placed at different depths, to dive ever deeper. It was trickier to teach him to catch...
...double thumbs-up for your articles on the Games [SUMMER OLYMPICS, Sept. 11]. Here in Nigeria just as much fuss is made about them as everywhere else. That is true despite the fact that we just won our first gold medals in 1996 in Atlanta.

...Deftones are crowded into a small dressing room in the bowels of the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J., waiting for a chance to live up to their own hype. They didn't create all the multimedia fuss, not directly. Nonetheless, their recently released CD White Pony (Maverick) has garnered an enormous amount of buzz, that curious, often unreliable mix of critical adulation, street anticipation and well-orchestrated marketing. White Pony is supposed to be the album that "breaks" Deftones and places it in a league with the hottest hard-rock bands of the day, acts like Limp Bizkit...
