...Measure of the Medalist I am happy for Michael Phelps' success in Beijing [Aug. 25].

Cindy started messing with people's expectations long before she had so much as glanced in the direction of John McCain or public life. The junior Rodeo Queen with the gold Mercedes graduated from USC (University of Spoiled Children, her husband likes to call it) with a master's in special education and proceeded to teach children with Down syndrome and other disabilities in one of Phoenix's poorer schools. When she met a dashing war hero at a cocktail party in Hawaii, she was 24 but said she was three years older; he said he was four years younger...
