...City can also become an instant fashion hit. Last season costume designer Patricia Field picked out a diamond horseshoe necklace for actress Sarah Jessica Parker to wear on one episode. Soon after, HBO was flooded with calls and e-mail messages--and jewelry-design firm Mia & Lizzie, based in Los Angeles, was inundated with orders...
...trunk show of songs from the 80s ska group Madness, and since it's about a young man who splits in two to see whether he'd turned out right if he went bad, the show could have been a mix of the amateur ABBA show "Mamma Mia" and London's longest-running bad musical, "Blood Brothers" (15 years and it hasn't had the grace to close). But the Tim Firth book weaves the songs smartly around a cleverly developed situation, and director Matthew Warchus moves the dense human traffic with lightning precision. Even the dancing's good...
...Mia Hamm did it to save her league. The all-time top scorer in international soccer joined 18 other U.S. female stars in taking a pay cut--in her case a 29% drop, to $60,000--to keep the Women's United Soccer Association alive. Bob Knight did it out of shame. The Texas Tech basketball coach gave back his $250,000 base salary to pay penance for his team's disappointing 16-11 regular-season record.

Guess there's such a thing as being too Frank...
...whose grim job is to search for, exhume and identify the bodies of U.S. soldiers missing in action in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. It would take a quarter-century before a JTF investigator happened upon the case of the missing photographers-who had not been counted among the military MIA-and a further two years before a JTF team started excavating Site 2062, sifting through earth and, in JTF parlance, "broken aircraft s___" for the tiniest bone fragment or tooth. Single bicuspids have been enough to identify some MIA, notes Pyle, as Vietnam was the first war in which...
