...Knock 'Em, Sock 'Em McCain The campaign outlined in "A Whole New McCain" is an insult to the intelligence of the American voter [Aug. 18]. When our military personnel are dying in foreign wars, McCain dares to raise Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to the level of a national political debate.

Howard makes Mr. Universe look bony, so he didn't fall...
...women's side showed just how far they've come. After finishing 19th in the sport at the 2000 Games and 9th four years ago, Chinese teams took silver and bronze in Beijing. The second-placed pair of Tian Jia and Wang Jie weren't strong enough to knock off the U.S. powerhouse duo of Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor, who defended their gold medal from Athens.
