...stammered: "In first place, it's ? it's a Chinese man." Foiled by the X in Liu's given name, the broadcaster sidestepped the problem: "He is Mr. Liu. Congratulations to Mr. Liu from China." The world had better get used to Mr. Liu's name. With his chiseled jaw and winning smile, Liu has already been tapped as a pitchman for Coca-Cola and Nike. More importantly, he serves as the charismatic icon of a continent's athletic ascendancy, just as Asia gears up to welcome the next Summer Olympics. Everywhere Jan. 1, 2000 [The Millennium Bug] was going...
...site next to Adelson in Cotai to build four hotels--three of them full casino resorts. "I think it is more important to focus on people's work than it is their talk, including mine--but especially his," says Wynn. "And when the smoke clears and all the flap-jaw, and all of the rhetoric and dust settles we'll see what we'll see." More than likely, we'll see Wynn and Adelson making another killing...
...underage-looking actresses to lure a parade of doctors, engineers and Marines to assignations in unassuming houses.

...First the obvious stuff: After weeks of pot-banging by President Bush about the future of Western civilization - a campaign designed to divert attention from Iraq and wake his party's disaffected base from its slumber - Foley has given a few key segments of the Republican coalition a jaw-dropping reason to stay home. It's hard to conceive a piece of news more likely to dampen the turnout of social conservatives than predatory sexual practices by a closeted gay Republican leader. I also doubt that the Republican coalition-minders were pleased when Foley blamed his problems on an adolescent...
...team led by Hansell Stedman of the University of Pennsylvania identified a tiny mutation in a gene on chromosome 7 that affects the production of myosin, the protein that enables muscle tissue to contract. The mutant gene prevents the expression of a myosin variant, known as MYH16, in the jaw muscles used in biting and chewing. Since the same mutation occurs in all of the modern human populations the researchers tested--but not in seven species of nonhuman primates, including chimps--the researchers suggest that lack of MYH16 made it possible for our ancestors to evolve smaller jaw muscles some...
