...complaints. "That's short track." Third, he congratulated Bradbury as the rightful winner. Fourth, he taped up his stitched-up leg - treated in the interim by none other than Eric Heiden, living speed skate legend and this year's team doctor - and proved that even this slacker generation can spit nails and get back on the track. Fifth, he smiled and kept smiling. Sixth, he was - very evidently and very consistently - completely genuine. This guy is Favre, he's Agassi, he's Tiger, he's Namath. This guy's the goods...
Byrnes, who graduated from KSG in 1991, has an impressive slacker resume to rival Ferris Bueller’s. During a four-year stint as head speechwriter for former Mass. Gov. William F. Weld ’66, Byrnes “worked” mornings and spent afternoons drinking and playing on a dart team at Drumlins, a bar on Mass. Ave. recently rechristened People’s Republik...
Fastow was never considered a big man on campus, not even at his suburban New Jersey high school. A teacher there remembers Fastow only as a slacker who tried to talk him into raising his grades.

...Though she may be laid back, her fellow countrymen are not. Japan desperately craves Olympic champions. The state of its winter team is so shaky that the slacker sport of snowboarding offers the country one of its best shots at a medal in Salt Lake City. It's quite a comedown from four years ago, in Nagano, where the host team ski jumped and skated its way to five gold medals. This time, it's up to Miyake and Michiyo Hashimoto, 29, who recently finished first and second in a World Cup event. Hashimoto, an Osaka native, is also...
