Abramoff was constantly coming up with new business propositions--wanting to buy an indoor lacrosse team one week and start a newspaper the next--but almost never staying interested long enough to follow through.

In January, in her first race after the Olympics, Slaney set a new world's indoor record for the women's 2,000 (5:34.52), and she turned in several other impressive performances this year...
Around this frame of a 1690s French sheep barn, Babcock will build walls of pine siding and insulation and a shingled roof. Protected from the elements, the ancient timbers become an indoor exhibition. The entire project will cost $80,000--something of a bargain, Babcock reckons, for such historic shelter...
