...entire ceremony had the theme of a ?Fahrenheit? love-fest. The evening?s first winner, Short Film runner-up Jonas Geirnaert, had a message about Moore for viewers of the Independent Film Channel back in the States, which was broadcasting the show: ?In case he shouldn?t win, if anyone is watching this from the United States, please don?t vote Bush.?

...there's one thing harder than being from Philadelphia--the Eastern seaboard's perennial underdog--it's being from Baltimore, chronic runner-up even to Philly. But every so often, synergy works.

Finally, footwear gets smart. The new Adidas 1 is the first running shoe to adjust its cushioning levels automatically during a jog. With every step, a magnetic sensor in the heel measures the force exerted by a runner and transmits this data to a microprocessor under the arch. The chip drives a tiny cable system that adjusts the heel, which gets harder to cushion the blow when your tired feet are pounding the pavement and then softer to relax them while walking across the lawn. The shoe might also relax your wallet: the Adidas 1 will retail at $250 when...
...many events, Harvard was overwhelmed in the numbers of athletes alone—where Harvard could only put two, one, or sometimes no runner in an event in which eventual champion Cornell had between three and five of its own athletes...
