...advent of women's wrestling as an Olympic event has moved the sport to the élite ranks. The U.S. took two medals--a silver for Sara McMann and a bronze for Patricia Miranda--at Athens in 2004. Women's wrestling is growing in the U.S., where girls have gradually gained access to the mat, thanks to Title IX's gender-parity provision. Schools are required to give the girls a shot with the boys if there aren't enough females or funding for a girls team. And so about 7,000 female students from grade school through college...
...Sara McMann, the 63-kg (138.5-lb.) wrestler, is proven; she finished second at the 2003 world championships. Unlike her teammates, McMann, 23, followed a sibling into the sport. Her older brother Jason wrestled for McDowell High in Marion, N.C., a small, Bible Belt town in the western part of the state.

Police officer James McMann, 50, radioed for help before Delgado knocked him out with a wrought- iron prayer stand and then struck and killed usher John Winters, 77. Lunging at one of three newly arrived policemen, he was shot dead. Afterward, John Cardinal O'Connor recalled that he had touched and blessed Delgado when he noticed the man looked disturbed at Mass that morning. In a city where tens...
Confusion is heaped upon confusion as McMann vainly attempts to separate the deadly reality from the crazy fantasies of Palmer, but with no real success. Conti, with the theatrical-magic he brought to Reuben, Reuben and The Norman Chronicles, transforms the whiny, irresolute McMann he found in the script into a sexy and sympathetic British playboy. With a perfectly raised eyebrow and a fatalistic shrug, Conti is Man confronted with the inexplicable essence of uninhibited feminity. Conti is God's gift to romantic comedy, an Italo-British Cary Grant who consistently surpasses every superlative piled on his previous performances...
