Remarkably, PepsiCo ably demonstrates how much gold there is in being the eternal silver-medal winner. The company is still a veritable junk-food juggernaut that includes Frito-Lay, which dominates the salty-snack industry the way you-know-who does soft drinks. There are also the fast-food restaurants Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC, a division that is on the rebound. The entire company brought in revenues of $30 billion and profits of $1.99 billion in 1995. The stock, which recently split, increased some 70% last year...
...heat, finishing in 38.58. Canada, the only team capable of challenging the U.S., almost was disqualified when it appeared that anchor Donovan Bailey took the handoff from Bruny Smith out of the exchange zone. Despite a yellow flag being raised, Canada was not disqualified. Lewis, seeking his record 10th gold medal, hasn't been named to the relay team yet, despite an injury to Leroy Burrell. But it appears likely he will be added to the team later Friday, when Coach Erv Hunt analyzes video of this morning's race. Mitchell, who has been an outspoken critic of Lewis, said...
...suspense about who will win the men's basketball gold this Saturday night evaporated before the games were even awarded to Atlanta. Ever since the International Olympic Committee permitted NBA stars into the Olympics, it was a foregone conclusion that the U.S. would run away with the top spot.

But nonetheless, no team has seriously threatened the Dream Team, and don't expect Yugoslavia to change that. Like the U.S., Yugoslavia goes into the gold medal match undefeated. Unlike the Dream...
...case, the release of the Broadway-cast albums of Rent (out next week) and Noise/Funk (in stores now) makes the music and messages contained in these two shows available even to people without gold cards and/or a 212 area code. Do they work as albums in their own right? Noise/Funk at first would seem unrecordable--the show, which stars tap-dancing whiz Savion Glover, is about dance, about movement, about flashing, stomping, whirling feet. A recording of a dance seems as useful as a photograph of a symphony. But tap dancing is percussive, rhythmic, noisy. To hear Glover's feet...
After one of the most agonizing of journeys to the Olympics, one that sportswriters called "epic," you'd think Dan O'Brien would have soldered his gold medal to his neck. But shortly after winning the decathlon, O'Brien lost the medal. He put it in a gym bag, which he left in the back of the vehicle that took him to his car. Luckily, Jim Reardon, his sport psychologist, retrieved it. After all, O'Brien couldn't be expected to wait another four years...
