Kitchen is not likely to draw in Thomas Keller fans, but a broadcast network has to program for an Olive Garden crowd. "We wanted to create a show that I could watch, and I'm not a foodie," says executive producer Arthur Smith. "It's like a live sporting event. It's hot, there's time pressure, there's someone yelling at you, and there are sharp things. There's danger." Still, hundreds of food professionals applied for the chance to become chef at a new restaurant--though they'll probably be glad to escape without a cleaver...
...even more glaring: The American midfielder, who had been splendid in the first two games, committed one of the worst kinds of mistakes - being caught in possession in his own third of the field. Reyna was stripped of the ball by Haminu Dramani, whose shot gave U.S. goalie Kasey Keller no chance, leaving a 1-0 deficit that the Americans could tie once but never erase. They crashed out of the World Cup, 2-1, on a disputed penalty call in injury time of the first half despite scoring their first goal in the run of play...

...Still, Italy began to press hard, with Lippi inserting striker Allesandro Del Piero and Arena countering with the no-nonsense defender Jimmy Conrad, who would bully Italians for the rest of the night. But it was American keep Kasey Keller who would soon earn his man of the match with a number of saves at full stretch, including one in the 73rd minute on a shot by Del Piero, as the American fans howled their approval. With 10 minutes left in the game, it was clear the U.S. would settle for the draw, and they defended grimly until...
