...Michelle Smith, another relative unknown from Ireland, a nation not heretofore known for its aquatics, won three races. The U.S. men's 4 x 100 freestyle relay team of Gary Hall Jr., Jon Olsen, Josh Davis and Brad Schumacher not only kept America's unbeaten streak in the event intact, but also provided the delicious symmetry of winning the 100th gold medal for U.S. men swimmers in the 100th year of the Olympics. "Cool," said Davis when first informed of the milestone. Cool was also the reception given to Smith and the Chinese swimmers, who were persistently accused of drug...
...almost perfect crime, figuring out who destroyed Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on Dec. 21, 1988. Thurman matched a fragment of a circuit board from the bomb's timer to an identical circuit board, which was part of a timer the CIA had recovered from an intact, unexploded bomb seized in Togo in 1986.

Will Smith, as Captain Hitler, brings out the comic potential of fighter-pilot bravado when confronted by a threat so ludicrously daunting as a space invasion. And, exercising the techno-babble he learned in "Jurassic Park," Jeff Goldblum staves off the humorous bickering of his worrying father (Judd Hirsch) to save the world with the scientist's explain-it-all manner...
...favorite, even over Cuba, the gold-medal winner in Barcelona. For one thing, coach Skip Bertman's squad is largely intact from the team that beat Cuba in four straight exhibitions last year. For another, Cuba seems to have chosen players less for their ability than for their likelihood to defect. The U.S. stars could be starter Kris Benson and outfielder Mark Kotsay...
