...Cuyahoga County, Ohio. "It turns out," she says, "that I'm related to about three-fourths of the people buried there." Now a professional genealogist, Shaw photocopied local census records and created a 500-page manuscript documenting the entwined relationships of the cemetery's roughly 2,500 people. Phyllis Heiss, 76, of Boca Raton, Fla., tracked her family back 15 generations across five centuries and estimates that her still incomplete family database has the names of 11,000 relatives. Heiss, who has taught genealogy classes at the Family History Center in Boca Raton for more than 10 years, has traveled...
America's gold-silver knockout, its first since the 1956 one-two scored by Tenley Albright and Carol Heiss, proved only that champions are formed in the most variable of circumstances. Lipinski and Kwan stuck to completely different schedules at Nagano, setting off rampant speculation about whose off-ice routine would triumph. Journalists handicapped the event in favor of Lipinski because she was so carefree and relaxed. She was all over the Olympic village, taking to dorm life faster than a pre-frosh.

The very notion of an American museum asking for Stalinist paintings seems so weird that any interest in them is bound to seem morbid. To look at, say, Vasili Svarog's ebullient 1939 painting of Stalin and the jolly...
Ervin was competing in the strongest field of U.S. skaters since 1956, when the Olympic women's team was Tenley Albright, Heiss (both future gold medalists) and Catherine Machado. This year's trio could sweep the medals, as they did at last year's world's championship in Munich. If they do not, the reason will probably be Japan's Midori Ito, 21. She is 4 ft. 9 in. and built like a fireplug. But can she fly! At Munich her image was set indelibly, warts and all, when she took off and whirled, airborne, into the stands. That...
