...clunkers wasn't. I feebly pushed myself along bike paths in Central Park, attracting plenty of gawkers--no small feat among seen-it-all-before Manhattanites. But I could barely move. When I tried to push off as I would with a normal pair of skates, the thick rubber wheels dragged across the ground. So I switched to a cross-country stride, methodically rolling one foot straight ahead, then following with the other. After a few tries, I managed to whiz past the walkers but was still in a dead heat with the joggers. As for swooping down dirt hills...
Real life has provided a great cast (even if the British accents are so thick, it can be like watching a Ken Loach movie). With dear, lumbering Dad (seemingly boggled by his own wealth); strong-willed wife Sharon (Ozzy's manager); independent-minded daughter Kelly (with dyed-pink hair, like a girl-power answer to Ozzy's black-clad metal-god persona); and chip-off-the-old-block Jack (a likable oddball with a thing for bayonets), the Osbournes are like the Soprano family without the guns.

Further down, the mountain falls away in an undulating patchwork of tea, tobacco, fruit trees and stands of thick forest. Above, near the summit, the sun glints on the gilt-wrapped domes and spires of a Buddhist temple. "We are just ordinary Thai citizens now," Lue says. His passport records his name as Aroon Charoentangchanya, and under that alias he has slipped back into China several times. "I even...
Harvard opens the weekend against a blistering RPI team that is unbeaten in February and has gone 7-1-2 in its last ten games. After a disappointing start to the season, the Engineers have risen from the league basement into the thick of the playoff race...
