...denied him his martyrdom? That would be Kimberly Munley, the SWAT-team markswoman nicknamed Mighty Mouse, who with her partner ran toward the sound of gunshots at the Soldier Readiness Center, where men and women about to deploy gather for vaccinations and eye exams. It's practically been a motto stitched on their sleeves - "Better to fight the terrorists there than here" - except now they were at home, and there was one of their own, a U.S. officer, jumping up, shouting "God is great" in a language he could barely speak and then opening fire.

...billion-plus people and so far only three individual Olympic medals. As India awaits glory in Athens, its star athlete, markswoman Anjali Bhagwat, is peeved that she had to pay for a coach on her own.

In the oddest-sounding events, like the men's English match small-bore rifle competition (won by West Virginian Ed Etzel), the impression of a rout was confirmed. Where did the U.S. find Air Rifle Markswoman Pat Spurgin, or Greco-Roman Wrestlers Steve Fraser and Jeff Blatnick, or Cyclists Steve Hegg and Mark Gorski? All have won gold medals...
...Johnson, scrofulous sage of the 18th Century; BEN Jonson, Elizabethan playwright: JACK Johnson, blackamoor pugilist. *In a floppy felt hat and a pair of khaki trousers, Markswoman Foster turned in a card of 280 out of a possible 300 at 300, 500, 600, 900, and 1,000 yards on a windy day. Runner-up was a ''man in skirts"-Lieut. Alexander Eccles, Seaforth Highlander, with...
