...good thing the stock market is hanging tough. Ticket prices for the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City were announced yesterday, and seats at high-profile events such as ski jumping and the hockey finals will run anywhere from $110 to $425. Count on handing over close to $800 to watch the opening or closing ceremonies. Of course, those on a budget can always settle for a $35 ticket to a curling match...
...against the drugs, I fought for and got a milder drug regimen. But again, fearful that he'd get up and break a hip, they strapped him to his bed. He began to wither away, uninterested for the first time in food, because he was no longer allowed salt. He couldn't see to ring the bell for the toilet, so he would sometimes lie for hours in wet diapers or sheets until I or his 74-year-old sister would arrive for a visit.

...After Salt Lake City's Olympic-bribery scandal forced the resignation or dismissal of 10 IOC members, the head of the Atlanta Olympic Committee, BILLY PAYNE, said his group won the 1996 Games without resorting to underhanded tactics. "We did not bribe anyone," he said in February. "We did not make cash payments. We did not give outrageous gifts." And in a June report to the House Commerce Committee investigating violations of federal bribery laws in Olympic bids, Payne and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young attested to only 38 items exceeding the $200-per-gift limit. However, after reviewing more...
