...long races in the high- 90s heat, and medics cool the runners down with towels soaked in ice water. But Eric Tosada, a springy 18-year-old track man from Puerto Rico, doesn't even bother to sit down after clicking off 3,000 meters in 9 min. 38 sec., a new world record for Special Olympians. (The overall world record is 7 min. 32.01 sec.) He bounces around delightedly, and comes to prideful attention when his picture is taken. Another kind of athletic accomplishment is that of George Kelsey of New Jersey, who cannot push with his arms...

Certain facts in the case are not in dispute. Warhol, 58, underwent surgery at the hospital on Feb. 21. At 4:30 the next morning, his private nurse, Min Cho, made note of his increasing pallor, but it was not until 5:45, when he was "unresponsive" and turning blue, that she summoned the hospital's cardiac-arrest team. He was pronounced dead at 6:31 a.m., of an unexplained heart arrhythmia, or abnormal heartbeat...
