...back so we could live in peace." Sana Abdul Rahman, a middle school teacher, is a little more hopeful, but desperately so: "Republican, Democrat, black, female; any person who comes to Iraq and makes it stable, I swear to God, I will die for him, give him a big kiss in front of millions and thank him. To the Americans, I say: Please keep your promises to us. We are very tired...
...many, his visage evoked the cackling, maniacal villain Tommy Udo pushing an old woman tied to a wheelchair downstairs, in the 1947 film Kiss of Death. But offscreen, Richard Widmark played the true gentleman. Over his career, the chiseled, unconventionally handsome actor portrayed a vast array of characters--from frontiersman Jim Bowie in The Alamo to the head of a psychiatric institution in Cobweb to the corruptible boxing promoter Harry Fabian, one of his most memorable roles, in Jules Dassin's Night and the City...

But that was just acting - glorious acting - for Widmark was a well...
...Kiss's other champions include Agnes Kovacs and Karoly Guttler, and he's hoping for more in Beijing this summer. But he won't take too much credit for all this success. "Swimming is teamwork," he says. "When you go to a meet, you see a lot of swimmers compete, and they all have their own techniques. You come away with ideas every time, but you're not stealing from anyone because it is all a team...
