...soon as we got adjusted to teams playing like studs one week and duds the next ? that's you, Patriots, Dolphins and Saints ? the league now plays with our emotions by the half. Giants fans were already booking flights to Tampa Bay before Jeff Garcia put on a fourth-quarter show that made Joe Montana look like Joe Mantegna. And do you think any Cleveland Browns fans made it through their every-game-must-come-down-to-a-final-heave season without suffering a heart attack? Head coach Butch Davis was 50 years old when the season started...
...almost universally predicting an upset of the 49ers, a team that's been locked in as the No. 4 seed for a couple of lackluster weeks now. Giants QB Kerry Collins and WR Amani Toomer may not be headed to the Pro Bowl like San Fran's Jeff Garcia and Terrell Owens, but it was only two weeks ago that they went on the road to outshine the Colts' Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison...

An additional 45,000 troops could rapidly be flown into the region to be married up with materiel stockpiled since the 1991 war at Diego Garcia, a seven-day sail away. Some military experts think 75,000 troops would be sufficient to overthrow Saddam. They could certainly start the effort while the U.S. pumped more forces into the theater...
...broadest sense of the term. He is ambitious to rise within his powerful if sclerotic organization--mostly because he wants to get its blood flowing. His only problem is that the bureaucracy to which he has committed his life is Mexico's Roman Catholic Church, and Padre Amaro (Gael Garcia Bernal, most recently in Y Tu Mama Tambien) is a priest whose largest doctrinal doubts center on celibacy...
