ROAD The heat will be a major factor. Jeanne Golay of the U.S., Norway's Monika Valvik and defending champion Kathryn Watt of Australia are the top contenders. For the first time, professional cyclists like five-time Tour de France winner Miguel Indurain of Spain are eligible. Lance Armstrong of the U.S., a former world champion, could find the streets of Buckhead, Georgia, to his liking...

The union's chief weapon was its shrewd, tough-talking president, Monika Wulf- Mathies, who brilliantly calibrated the walkouts to demonstrate the union's power without antagonizing the public. No more than 430,000 members stayed off the job at any one time, limiting the strike's damage to levels other citizens could tolerate. Business losses and public inconvenience were held...
