...eight times as frequently as men. For years, doctors thought this had something to do with weakness in the joints and ligaments. The evidence, however, doesn't support the notion. What research has shown is that there are inherent anatomical differences between male and female athletes--differences in pelvic width and alignment of the leg bones--that make women more likely to injure their ACL. Unfortunately, these anatomical features can't be modified...

He had done the impossible: he had sung about soccer in Spanish and got Americans to care. What could be harder? A French-language ode to cricket? At the Grammys, Beck stood and clapped. Madonna signed on for a duet. Martin's stateside career was launched. Several publishers, including HarperCollins and St. Martin's, are already...
