...Despite such camp tomfoolery, Pammy's sense of comic timing helps her draw the biggest laughs. It doesn't hurt that Anderson, 42, who has publicly referred to her surgically enhanced breasts as "Pancho and Lefty," embraces her own absurdity. "I'm here to serve you - and run provocatively to you on the beach when the tide comes in," she says, referencing her most famous role of C.J. Parker in Baywatch. Later, during a group dance number, she bounces in one spot for three minutes, flexing her bottom to the beat. Her bosom undulates so much that you worry...

...Abdel-Rida Shwaya of the Iraqi police's 7th Brigade. The young sheikh cuts a striking figure, clad in a crisp, white dishdasha and matching headdress. His weather-beaten face, his thick, black mustache and the tan bandolier draped across his chest give him the look of an Arabic Pancho Villa. Neither man knows if any of Dora's SOIs will be part of the 20% absorbed by the security forces. There are 300 more Sunni patrolmen than there are Iraqi policemen in the area, says Colonel Shwaya, and they have been instrumental in quelling the violence. But, he adds...

She grew up in Phoenix, the daughter of a CFO at a contracting firm, and went to Brigham Young University, where she met her husband, an accountant named Christian who goes by "Pancho." They got married at 21 and have three sons. They still live just outside Phoenix in a town called Cave Creek, in a large modern house guarded by towering saguaro cacti. Smart, funny and cheery, Meyer does not seem noticeably undead in person. An observant Mormon, she doesn't drink alcohol and has never seen an R-rated...

...Eagles were an all-Mexican expeditionary force, organized after Mexico declared war on the Axis powers, which trained in the U.S. and then flew combat missions in the Philippines. Only five members of the squadron are still alive and one of them, pilot Reynaldo Perez Gallardo, nicknamed "Pancho Pistolar" after a Disney character, tells his story on the website. For critics of Ken Burns' latest effort, the point is that stories such as those of Gallardo should become part of the national memory when America honors its Greatest Generation...

...court, he says, the ball would still be climbing when it crashed into the backboard. "In my time," he says, "a serve that reached the backboard on the first bounce would draw a gasp from the crowd." The biggest server in Cooper's day was the American Pancho Gonzales, who was the first player to break the 100-m.p.h. barrier. These days, when racquets are made out of the same materials used for spaceships, 100 m.p.h. (160 km/h) would be a middling first serve-in the women...
