When the Olympics come to Salt Lake City in 2002, the phrase "Let the Games begin" may take on a whole new meaning. Randy, 19, has been known to wield a samurai sword and says, in the spirit of true sportsmanship, "You know that if you've hit a kid in the head with a bat and he drops, you don't hit him again." Josh, now 20, is probably not the best guy to run through Salt Lake with the Olympic torch. He has no regrets about taking down that McDonald's. He is probably going to cool...

He didn't make an impression." Still, by Merrill's account, Furrow was curious and bright enough to go on to community college after an aborted stint in the Army...
...single prehistoric one-night stand--except that the last true Neanderthals had disappeared from the area at least 3,000 years earlier. Plenty of experts are unwilling to be swayed by romance, however--especially the American Museum's Ian Tattersall, who says flatly, "It's just a chunky modern kid. There's nothing special about...
