Something was amiss from the moment the American women's gymnastics team walked onto the floor Sunday afternoon for the team qualification event. Instead of five gymnasts suited up and ready to compete, only four members of the squad marched in outfitted in their leotards. The fifth athlete, Samantha Peszek, walked in wearing her warmup outfit...
Believing that the world was in danger of becoming "a homogenous mass," marathon runner Mary K. Gadams set up an adventure company in 1996. The outfit, RacingThePlanet, was designed to "take people to some of the last remaining remote areas" of the earth. But since 2002, Gadams has been asking her clients to do it the hard way - encouraging them to compete in seven-day, 155-mile (250 km) foot races through the arduous terrain, blistering heat and frigid cold of the world's four largest deserts. Known as the 4 Deserts Race, the event takes in the salt plains...

This month at a celebrity ''epicurean gala'' in Los Angeles benefiting cancer research, she fried up a batch of her mother-in-law's sesame chicken, complete with ''beer, spices and everything that is bad for you.'' Since she was freshly shorn for a fashion-modeling assignment...
...massive 20,320-ft. Denali, or Mount McKinley. Unfortunately, Denali is 200 miles away from the nearest cruiseship landing point. Customary transportation to Denali National Park in the Alaska range is by bus. Correctly figuring that most affluent U.S. tourists would rather take hookworm medicine than a bus, an outfit called Tour Alaska had the superior idea of buying several old domed railroad observation cars, built to take big spenders from Chicago to the West Coast in the '50s. These splendid arks, nicely refurbished and staffed with chefs and strolling musicians, now shuttle between Anchorage and Fairbanks every...
