...China's Olympic prowess, though, is hardly a reflection of a nationwide passion for sweaty competition. Unlike Americans or Australians, the vast majority of Chinese are not sporty people who tote racquets or join gyms. China's international athletic success is about nationalism; it is the physical expression of a resurgent country, a rebuttal to its history as the "sick man of Asia" exploited by colonialists during the waning days of the Qing dynasty. The average Chinese?for whom supporting the motherland in athletic competition is one of the few instances in which mass, spontaneous celebration is allowed?is conditioned...
...Friendly Fauna As morning sun steals into the bar, Pickles, a gray wallaroo joey, wakes up on the pool table while her carer Nora Walsh, 18, does the accounts. Rescued after her mother was killed on the highway, Pickles now sleeps in a canvas tote bag instead of a furry pouch, drinks milk from a bottle as well as grazing on the well-watered lawn, and hops about the roadhouse as if it were native ground.

But it comes in handy for the Walkmen, who use it centrally in “We’ve Been Had,” the first song written for Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me and the first single, familiar to some from the Saturn Ion car commercial...
...passionate about something, then it doesn't feel like work, does it?" She fine-tunes her style radar by reading "every magazine known to mankind" and keeps a constant watch on what everybody's wearing. Bravo herself wears a red pea coat and a chocolate zebra-skin tote, both Burberry. "I love the red and the brown together. And isn't this great?" she asks about the bag. "It's so convenient because it opens wide," she says, and in that single exhortation reveals the secret of her success: this is a woman who knows what's important. --By Kristina...
