...sport without a long tradition of martial-arts stylists, Elvis' very originality was a problem. The cabal of skating judges, clacking endlessly about athletes' clothes, musical tastes, hairstyles and breast sizes, looked at this karate kid with the shag and the metal-studded costumes--famously designed and stitched by his mom--and they saw fresh meat. "I was ridiculed," Stojko says. "The judges said they didn't like martial arts. I was told to get in touch with my feminine side. I said, 'Buddy, I don't have a feminine side. I'm not a female...
Grove is not all work: he skis, bikes with his wife Eva, listens to opera. He occasionally breaks out into a wild, disjointed boogie (his kids call it groving instead of grooving and recall the time Eva snapped her ankle on their shag carpet as the two danced to the sound track of Hair). The dance step is typical: Grove is a passionate, if disjointed man. He is a famously tough manager who, late at night, can still fill Intel's offices with a rolling laugh.

...better use of celebrity than saving teenagers from ruining their lives, even if the celebrity comes with more baggage than could ever fit in an overhead bin.

Now Priscilla reversed herself, acting, she says, on faith as well as a sentimental attachment to what had been, after all, her nuptial home. While their bankers looked on aghast, she and Soden blew the last of the estate's cash...
...opening ceremony. They were kept away from television cameras and reporters. So tight was security that some were soon calling the conference "a boot camp run by Americans" and complaining that "life is really, really boring." But if the restrictions were deemed onerous, at least not everyone found the shag- rug-and-Formica decor so bad. "It's a bit like Motel 6," said Mohammed Sacirbey, Bosnia's Foreign Minister. "But I like Motel 6. 'Leave the light on.'" There were complaints about not being able to leave the base--although Milosevic was spotted Friday afternoon buying shoes in suburban...
