...U.F.C. was bought and revamped in 2001 by second-generation Vegas tycoons Lorenzo, 35, and Frank Fertitta III, 42, brothers and co-owners of Station Casinos, who in their spare time practice Brazilian jujitsu, the technique of choice among top U.F.C. fighters. In fact, a series of buttons on the U.F.C. video game will allow you to fight as Lorenzo, who apparently is much stronger than he looks. Their parents gave them a bunch of local casinos, which, along with revenue made from consulting with Native Americans on casino operations, they have used to build the slick Green Valley Ranch...

Is this the summer I learn to skate? Longer days lend themselves to long talks and long walks and cooking dinner instead of just defrosting it. There's a tag sale on every corner, a harvest of spring cleaning...
...army has spent much of the past several months, in the words of a senior Army officer, "looking under rocks for every spare soldier" to send to Iraq. It took formal action last week to stretch its troop strength as far as possible. According to the so-called stop-loss order, soldiers will be kept in uniform for an extra three months before and after their units' one-year stint in Iraq or Afghanistan.
