...City may be the capital of drive-through weddings, but traffic on the Strip can be a drag. So in a nod to impatient (and fit) couples, the New Las Vegas Marathon, on Dec.4, will include a Run-Thru Chapel near the five-mile mark, where at least 22 couples plan to get married en masse. Running with them will be the minister, lots of Elvis impersonators--like these recent marathoners in Phoenix, Ariz., right--and an estimated 13,000 others tackling a 26.2-mile course that includes the entire Strip, closed off to cars. While élite runners...
...nine factories the company aims to close, eliminating 30,000 jobs. Taylor is surprised the plant has lasted this long. "We have to put buckets under the machines to catch the leaking oil," he says. Buick City, where he works, was once a vast manufacturing complex more than a mile in length. It's now mostly a desolate field of crushed stone surrounded by parking lots too big for GM's shrinking workforce. If you didn't know you were in Flint, Mich., you might think you were at an old Soviet factory that made nameless products no one really...
...Back Commission has created buzz in the city by involving thousands of people in public life. But what residents want most is something the mayor pragmatically believes may be impossible for the moment--levees that will protect against Category 5 hurricanes.

Disregarding the fact that “Get Rich” is a Shady/Aftermath production and Marcus (50 Cent) rolls with the same fat dude (Omar Miller) that B. Rabbit runs with in “8 Mile,” comparisons to Eminem’s silver screen debut are still inevitable. The pitch is simple: Take one of the world’s most famous rappers and make a movie about his Horatio Algiers-like ascent from the gutter to the limelight. Easy, right? But unfortunately...
...lost, they agreed before the race, but wouldn't it be something if she won? "She's just special - and she's a mare, having a crack at history against the boys," says Michelle. It proved more than a tilt. By the time he and Makybe were "a mile out," jockey Glen Boss knew the record was theirs: "That's the best part of my job, when you're out there and it's just you and her." Still, it was impossible to ignore the roar of the crowd, which, as they surged into the home straight, "was so powerful...
