...finish a routine-you know the smile that accompanies the pose that looks vaguely like the pee-pee dance?) Of course, the IOC being the vigilant, honest folk that they are, immediately drug test little Andreea after she wins. And it's discovered with much fanfare that she took-gasp!-cold pills. Gone is her medal, her pride and most certainly her smile. Couldn't the IOC focus their attention somewhere else? Leave the 3'2" girl alone. First you take her height, than you take her medals. All because of a runny nose...
...graceful, dancelike quality on the floor, with a toe point that ballerinas would envy. Ray performs one of the most difficult programs of any female gymnast, which should place her shoulder to shoulder with the favored Russians and Romanians in Sydney. Already, she has a signature move, a gasp-inducing uneven-bars maneuver in which she flies off the high bar, twists 360[degrees] in the air like a diver heading for the water, grabs the bar, swings through and does it all over again.

And that's when our caseworker, Kim, said, "Well...
...exceptional third season, though, has complicated the arch social comedy by experimenting with--gasp!--committed relationships. "What if Prince Charming had never shown up?" Carrie asks. "Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever? Or would she have eventually woken up, spit out the apple, got a job, a health-care package and a baby from her local neighborhood sperm bank?" Maybe. But this year our heroines are considering another option: settling down with Prince Almost-as-Charming. (All but Samantha--the deliciously vulpine Kim Cattrall--who episode after bed-hopping episode takes Manhattan like, well...
