...profit group Barh Mukti Abhiyan (Freedom from Floods Campaign), who spoke to TIME from northern Bihar, where he is trying to organize relief efforts. "They are trapped." Mishra, who has been tracking monsoon floods for more than 20 years, says this year's flooding in Bihar is worse than previous years. "It is concentrated in a capsule form in one particular area," he says. Other monsoons may have killed or displaced more people, but the destruction was spread out over a larger territory...

Events kept to a strict time schedule and positive drug tests were far fewer than in previous Games. The stadiums, from the latticed Bird's Nest to the ethereal Water Cube, stunned audiences with their architectural bravado.

It made headlines around the world. After the U.S. had performed so poorly in international competition for the previous six years - the sixth place debacle at the 2002 World Championships, bronzes in the '04 Olympics and '06 worlds - was James insane for offering bulletin board material? Not quite. Now that LeBron has fulfilled his promise, with America's 118-107 win over Spain on Sunday giving Team...
