...problem. During the early qualification runs, fog mucked with visibility. And all the well-publicized rain and warm temperatures that descended upon Cypress Mountain, which sits about 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver, added to the course's difficulty.

...week after the abduction of two female Italian volunteers in central Baghdad. "We're not going because we're scared," he said. "But it's useless to try to work when you have become a target." In broad daylight last Tuesday, a group of heavily armed men dragged away Simona Torretta and Simona Pari, both 29, and two Iraqi volunteers from the office of their humanitarian agency, A Bridge for Baghdad. Speaking from the Iraqi capital, Rodino, 47, said he'd worked in recent months with both Italian women who, like most aid workers, didn't consider themselves targets. Rodino...
