...former Armstrong lieutenants, desperate to escape his mountainous shadow, could soon reach the Champs Elysées podium. Floyd Landis, 29, who was never even allowed to race a bike as a kid, stood sixth overall through 14 stages (out of 21) in this year's Tour. He grew up without a television or radio in a Mennonite household in Pennsylvania, and he needed permission from a pastor to wear racing tights in public. Landis still won't conform. After riding shotgun for Armstrong on the U.S. Postal team for the past three Tours, he jumped to the Swiss Phonack squad...
...cold morning last April, in the shadow of Montana's Beartooth Mountain range, five agents from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) walked into the office of Dr. Richard Nelson, a Billings neurologist. For six hours, they combed through his records, seizing 72 patient charts and confiscating his drug-dispensing permit. The charge?

Jakovskaya, a theater director, organized his mechanical marvels into a performance called Sharmanka (barrel organ), bathing the works in light, shadow and music, and handing out opera glasses. In the early '90s, artists from Scotland helped Bersudsky, who now speaks again but would rather not, to show Sharmanka abroad and eventually to settle in Glasgow. Bad memories inform the sculptures he's made ever since - like Titanic (1994), a flapping ship...
...overarching goal for Farkes, but getting inked by his favorite team has made the experience doubly sweet. Farkes is from Boston, and his family has held season tickets to the Red Sox ever since he was six years old. Now, the kid who grew up in the shadow of Fenway Park and stayed in town to play his college ball will get the chance to work up the minor league ladder with the team that is in his blood...
