...Oscars, the Beijing Olympics, the Super Bowl: in each case there was a guy, or girl, timing the fireworks, cueing the music, lining up the athletes or yanking starlets' heads out of toilets for their big moment. For the Democratic National Convention in Denver that guy is Matt Nugen, an unlikely, happy-go-lucky 36-year-old who is responsible for making Barack Obama's coronation go off without a hitch...
...other ways, being a co-ho is very much not like being married. When Merriam took Mike Dash and Matt Sisto, two 24-year-olds, to look at a condo, it had a master bedroom and a second, smaller one. "We were, like, 'Who's going to get the master?'" says Dash. "We contemplated playing a round of golf for it." Or think about what happens every time Marefat or Gabrovsek wants to do some decorating. "We always ask, 'Is this O.K.? Is that O.K.?'" says Marefat. "If I were married, it would be much easier to say 'I like...
...McCain had done unto him: hammer his opponent in a sustained, thematic way - not just a few tossed-away lines in a stump speech. That shouldn't be too difficult.

"We probably should not have gotten married," she tells Matt while detailing the hassles. A temporary visa expired in July. She says she's supposed to get a green card in September. Without it, Katerina can't re-enter the U.S. Sure, she's a Czech sharpshooter, but, Katerina insists, "I'm not a danger to the country...
...Both shooters should show a little stress. But the whole ordeal seems to just bounce off them, as if they each have bulletproof vests. Katerina's gold, and the $100,000 sponsor bonus it delivers, surely helps (though another $100,000 from Matt would have been nice). Their post-Olympic dream: build a log cabin, preferably near a lake in Minnesota, and raise some kids. They're quite the happy couple, but make no mistake - there's something missing. "It's like two plus two is not adding up to four," says Matt. "It's adding...
