...goal of 100 medals, which was met late Saturday night. The medals came in a torrent, and the young legs of Justin Gatlin and Shawn Crawford were almost as dominant as--although suspiciously a step slower than--those of their possibly drug-tainted predecessors. (It was their coach, Trevor Graham, who sent in a syringe of human growth hormone to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, saying he hoped to save the sport for clean athletes.) Even when Americans weren't supposed to win, they won, like Paul Hamm, the gold-medal gymnast who prospered by a judging error. Gifts from...
...doing is this, I will make more enemies than I kill." It's a vicious circle, he says, and the worst-case scenario, if inconclusive battles like Najaf repeat themselves, is a nationwide popular uprising. The only hedge against that, says British Major General Andrew Graham, deputy commander of the Multinational Corps--Iraq, is to convince the Iraqi people "that there is hope."

Fans of the Man in Black know he was also a man of faith: JOHNNY CASH recorded gospel tunes and hung out with the Rev. Billy Graham. But a new book reveals that the country crooner was even more devout than his public knew. Cash was ordained a minister in 1977, according to The Man Called Cash by Steve Turner, due next month.

That is why both sides have repeated the pattern of go-no-go set in Fallujah. "Tell me," says Graham, "what are the alternatives?" --With reporting by Christopher Allbritton, Brian...
Some traditional bookmakers charge that Betfair's practice of allowing bets on losers as well as winners might facilitate corruption by encouraging competitors to throw events for financial gain. Says Graham Sharpe, spokesman for old-style bookie William Hill: "If you have a bet on an exchange, you don't know who it's with. If [the person] is offering extravagant odds, you don't know why." Black counters that his site makes strange betting patterns easier to identify. He points out that Betfair has signed agreements with, among others, the Jockey Club in Britain and the English Football Association...
