...Rams fan. Remember, the Superdome is the same place where the hated NFC West rival Saints play. So it's a little like the Jets playing a Super Bowl in Miami or the Redskins playing for all the marbles in Dallas, right under Jerry Jones' nose. The Rams season-ticket holders will do their best peacock impressions, showing their colors for all the locals to see. Don't be surprised if those famous Bourbon Street 3-for-1 specials turn into 6-for-1's for anyone donning Patriots gear...
Consider: In 1999 a chunky football dad (and youth-league coach) assaulted a nine-year-old player. In 2000, a Staten Island, N.Y., father broke the nose of his 10-year-old's coach with a hockey stick. And it ain't just tes-tosterone: In 1999 a Virginia soccer mom was fined after attacking a referee; the ref was 14. Americans don't generate the headlines Europeans do (HUNDREDS CRUSHED IN SOCCER RIOT!), and given the tens of millions of parents who cheer on their kids, the number of sports-psychosis cases is low. But we can still fret...

And, most important, he's way better looking than Angela Lansbury...
...that reads: "You have to be a little crazy to live in New York, but you'd be nuts to live anywhere else." The first time veteran Chinese dissident Wei Jingsheng came to visit, he asked me to translate the words for him. Chuckling heartily, he pointed to his nose. "Just like me," he said, suddenly somber. "You have to be a little crazy to stand up to the Chinese government, but it's nuts not to." Exiled after 18 brutal years in prison, Wei was still as defiant as he was in 1978, when he decided to publicly avow...
COLD WAR Are scientists closing in on a cure for the common cold? Researchers report that besides alleviating a runny nose and achy muscles, a drug called pleconaril cuts the duration of a cold by one day. Though that may not sound very dramatic, the way pleconaril works is. Other remedies merely fight symptoms; this drug attacks the cold virus itself, destroying its ability to reproduce. FDA approval is not expected until after this year's cold and flu season...
