These stands are slickly run machines dispensing food, drink and hype in equal doses. The most popular is easily Columbia-TriStar's. Perhaps visitors are attracted by a chance to buy "Pyramid" starring Donny Osmond. More likely it's the gourmet food on tap daily from Wolfgang Puck, who personally serves guests his signature pizzas...
...first capturing it. These guys said they'd found an Iraqi bunker, and were about to call an artillery strike to take it out. I look through the binoculars, and although there's an anti-aircraft gun on top, the structure is the Mound of the Ziggurat - a step pyramid reputed to be the spot where Abraham went to sacrifice Isaac. The beginning of civilization, one of the oldest structures in the world. So we pleaded with them not to do it, and urged them to call the chaplain.

We asked the authority--Osment, 12, who has gone from seeing dead people in The Sixth Sense to playing Trevor, a junior high student who helps people live. "It's a very cool story," Osment says. "Trevor's life is pretty bad. He lives in a rough section of Las Vegas. His mom drinks. His life stinks. He meets a teacher, Eugene. Most teachers just say, 'Class, open your books.' This one, he opens his heart. Eugene has this project--to change the world--that spurs Trevor. And Trevor comes...
