...riff on current events, writes one-liners and slips them to DAVID LETTERMAN, 57, right, who uses the material from time to time in his Late Show monologues. CBS executive Peter Lassally, a former producer of both the Carson and Letterman shows, told Reuters that Carson "gets a big kick out of that," and has long considered Letterman, not Jay Leno, his rightful heir. Looks like Leno will have to keep writing his own jokes...

"There are a lot easier ways to [make money] than to put your life into a high-risk adventure," says Dahiyat.

But when defender Brandi Chastain blasted the team's fifth penalty kick past Chinese goalkeeper Gao Hong after 120 scoreless minutes, including two overtime periods, the American put a fitting exclamation point on a summer of soccer that had swept the nation off its feet ... This sweet, sweet victory was very much an act of faith...
