CATCH YOUR BREATH You don't have to work up a sweat for a healthy heart. A major study on 72,500 middle-aged women finds that walking briskly for 30 minutes a day can cut the risk of heart attack up to 40%. That's about the same benefit as from jogging and other vigorous exercise for half that amount of time. A stroll through the mall won't do: you have to move at least 3 m.p.h.--or about a block a minute...
...that I was more concerned with my birthday presents than with the historic event, but after visits to the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral, Fla., I began looking at the moon with different eyes. Instead of a round circle in the sky, I see the hopes, dreams, blood, sweat and tears of the people who brought the space program to life. There is something about the moon that makes its exploration so much more real than any other space adventure. Everyone around the globe can see it. The moon walk was the catalyst that brought a world together. ILANA...

The race finishes on the Champs Elysees in Paris, where the winner gets a hero's welcome...
...French press that his remarkable comeback may be caused by the same kind of performance-enhancing drugs that French and other riders were caught taking. Armstrong, who has repeatedly passed blood and urine tests, denounces the Gallic grousing as "disturbing" and "unfair." He attributes his results to "sweat" and hard training, adding, "This team has done more work than anyone else." Most racing teams are built around a single star, whose cohort protects him from crowding rivals, brings him food and water and shelters him from the wind. "Their job," says Gorski, "is to deliver Lance to the critical point...
...constant immersion, and for better or worse, I am becoming an expert on the Tour and the country it blazes through. I am living as the locals live and covering the same terrain as the cyclists (although, I must admit, in relative comfort in comparison to their journeys of sweat and strain). In this way, reporting is like acting; I must study and then acquire, for a time, the identity of my sources...
