Nothing in the cultural history of the Western world, for example, could be weirder than the spectacle of Michael Jackson, a man who has changed his race via countless operations on his face, singing "I'm looking at the man in the mirror/...I'm gonna make a change.." completely seriously.

Among the women, early-season injuries knocked out Star Tamara McKinney, '84 Gold Medalist Armstrong, Downhillers Eva Twardokens, Tori Pillinger, Adel Allender and Diann Roffe. (McKinney and Armstrong, on the mend, are at Calgary and ready to race.) Then only an hour before she was to race in the downhill, Team Veteran Pam Fletcher, the last realistic hope for a top-15 showing, collided with a course worker on a practice run and broke...
