Four freshman grace the roster as well, including middle hitter Katherine Hart, who is Elissa's younger sister. The mix of young and veteran players should make the season interesting, if not difficult-to-predict...
...Grace Kelly proved America could dress up, go to the ball and come back with a prince. She left Hollywood and found royalty. Diana crossed the other way, dancing with John Travolta at the White House. She was the next chapter, the princess who insisted, with the innocence of a New World conqueror, that love could be brought into the royal chamber.

Russian President Boris Yeltsin suggested that recently returned crewmen Vasili Tsibliyev and Alexander Lazutkin were largely responsible for the station's woes; at his postflight press conference, an indignant Tsibliyev denied the charge...
