...cathedral; a 12th century masterpiece that started out as Romanesque but was added to by every Bishop of Braga, making it a living architectural lesson, with Gothic arches alongside Baroque windows. Don't miss the cathedral's museum, which contains everything from a Hispano-Arab casket in silver from the 10th century to a pair of platform shoes belonging to a vertically challenged bishop. The area's biggest attraction is the Bom Jesus Sanctuary, 3 km east of town. It is a spectacular 19th century monument standing on a high wooded hill with views of the Soajo Mountains...

His rock-star mane and six-pack abs have helped cast him as a pitchman for Amway and Bausch & Lomb.

"When I train with him," says Norway's Kjersti Plätzer, the 2000 Olympic silver medalist in the women's 20 km, "he walks and I run. He's a god - the walker." In Athens, Korzeniowski, the best racewalker of all time, will seek to gild his greatness with one last gold. He already holds three world titles and three Olympic golds, including two from...
...Weinsteins are looking for a new distribution plan, but according to a Miramax source, they may also evoke a little-used clause in their contract to arbitrate the matter with Disney. Publicly, Moore is steamed. But as he doubtless knows, the clouds of this stormy controversy have a silver lining: free publicity. --By Jeffrey Ressner
