...like Phelps is basking in the golden glow alone. The U.S. swim team's stash of 15 medals is five more than they had earned in the same events in Athens - including two more golds, both of which belong to Phelps.

With just a few dozen sacks remaining, would-be thieves sprint in as a pack, and more join in as the numbers swell. "It always happens this time of day," Teko...
...learned at the easel. The artistry begins at the photo shoot, but her signature style--the brushstrokes of her new medium--comes later, at the computer. First she strips out the background and replaces it with a quiet setting--a grassy field, an abandoned building--from her personal stash of paintings and pictures.
