...melodrama was set in Burlington, N.C., a small town about 20 miles from Greensboro, where Dorothy Hutelmyer was twice president of the PTA, her husband Joseph coached baseball and ran Seaboard Underwriters, and Lynne Cox worked as his secretary. The Hutelmyers' was "a storybook marriage," says Dorothy's lawyer Jim Walker. "He wrote poetry to her, love songs...

...events on the tour this year. Five of the Top 9 money winners, and 10 of the Top 38, are in their 20s. If Woods or Els or Leonard doesn't win the P.G.A. Championship, which will be played at Winged Foot in Mamaroneck, N.Y., this week, then Jim Furyk, 27, Stuart Appleby, 26, Phil Mickelson, 27, Paul Stankowski, 27, David Duval, 25, Stewart Cink, 24, or Robert Damron, 24, just might, and thus give the under-30s a clean sweep of the majors.

"I don't know if it's a placebo effect," says Atwater, who has tried taking shark cartilage to little effect, "but it's working for me." Jim Colbert, a top winner on the Senior P.G.A. Tour, attributes his success to the dollar bill-size magnets taped to his ailing back. And Washington Redskins wide receiver Henry Ellard has been using magnets on his legs for years...

...JIM CARREY and LAUREN HOLLY's hillside wedding ceremony 10 months ago had the air of risky, throw-caution-to-the-wind impetuosity about it. The two hitched up on the set of Dumb and Dumber in 1994, split up and got back together again just before the nuptials. Alas, the risk didn't pay off. Holly filed for divorce from the spandex-faced comedian on June 25, citing--and this is the shocking part--irreconcilable differences.
