...Sydney, Pedro and his teammates (including potential medalists Jason Morris, a 1992 silver winner at 81 kg [178 lbs.], Brian Olson at 90 kg [198 lbs.] and Hillary Wolf in the women's 52 kg [115 lbs.]) will be dealing with two distinct judo styles. The traditional Asian approach emphasizes speed and balance in order to knock the other judoka over. "With the Japanese and the Koreans there'll be a lot of space. It's a free-flowing, let's-see-who-can-throw-the-other-guy type of thing," says Pedro...

The difference mattered less two decades ago, when light trucks--including sport utes, minivans and pickups--represented less than a fifth of new-car sales. Now they account for nearly half.

Rowers often train in the delicate sculls--they're an ungainly 27 ft. long, 10 in. wide and weigh a mere 30 lbs. or so--to perfect their technique...
...WHAT KIND OF DIET DOES CHENEY FOLLOW AND HOW STRENUOUSLY IS HE EXERCISING? "He doesn't look like the picture of health," notes Dr. Eric Topol, chairman of cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic. The former Secretary of Defense has gained an estimated 40 lbs. since he left the Pentagon for corporate life. He exercises 30 minutes on a treadmill "several days a week"; many doctors believe that a pace of 4 m.p.h. is the minimum needed to get any cardiovascular benefit...
