ALLEN IVERSON The Philadelphia 76ers guard was charged with multiple felonies after he allegedly went on a gun-wielding rampage in pursuit of his wife. Yet his Reebok goods continued their steady rise in sales. Most charges were later dropped against the 2000-2001 MVP, here in an ad with...
...pursuit of all things beautiful began in dance. As a teen, Riefenstahl started taking lessons without the permission of her father, a Berlin plumber.

With 200 meters to go, Armstrong pulled away to win the stage and the yellow jersey, which he never relinquished. The next day Armstrong again bolted...
...issue at stake. Domestically and internationally, the Bush administration has unambiguously signaled its determination to rid the world of Saddam Hussein. And the expectations thus created increase the pressure to deliver. Moreover, the deeper objective of preemptively going to war for no other reason than a rogue regime's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction is to send a message to all such regimes - that the U.S. will not tolerate challenges in the form of terrorism or WMD. But whether or not America is ready to assume the risks to fight a preemptive war against Saddam Hussein remains an open...
