...engaged to ski technician John Mulligan - though she thinks she skis better "when I'm not in love" - she will try in Salt Lake City to cap her career with a gold in the downhill, her signature event. After failing to finish in the top 30 at last week's World Cup race in Cortina, Italy, she won't have the chance to duplicate her surprise gold medal performance in the super-G at the '98 Nagano Games...

On Holiday, his first all-piano album since 1959, he serves up five standards, six strong originals and a blues, performed in a blunt, bracing style full of sharp corners and spicy chords and often startlingly reminiscent of his no-nonsense horn playing.

...Julie Mulligan, a senior at New York City's elite Spence School, has a problem many of her college-bound contemporaries would envy.

Once upon a time, it seemed that nearly all stories began at the beginning (or even "In the beginning..."). They ended at The End. Then came the 20th century. Stately, plump Buck Mulligan stepped down the opening sentence of Ulysses, Gregor Samsa woke up a cockroach, and nothing was the same anymore. The dream logic of surrealism, the theater of the absurd, the shock edits of the French New Wave all followed. Soon you could have an ape-man throw a bone in the air and--blink--it's an orbiting spaceship...
