...sign of midlife crisis. Instead, this as-yet-untitled album is just full of confident, expansive guitar rock from the masters of the form. All the old tricks--the Edge's echoing guitar notes, Larry Mullen Jr.'s martial snare--still work, although Bono has lost a touch of the high clarity he had in his mullet-sporting days. He still has enormous assuredness, and the occasional cracks in his voice make the bad-relationship songs (and, as always, there are quite a few) darker and more dramatic. Custom would seem to demand that U2 start embarrassing itself...
...bias against hiring women who have been out of the work force for many years? QUIGLEY: Absolutely. Potential employers are afraid that they won't show up, that if they have a child-care crisis or illness, they won't come into work, that they've been out of touch with their field...
...kinship inspired Geisel to wonder what reactions old aprons might evoke in others and moved her to start collecting stories. For the next several years--starting out in her home state of Colorado--she toted a laundry basket of old aprons everywhere she went. She invited strangers to touch them and talk to her.

What's different in the pool, she insists, is a new style of coaching adopting techniques from sports beyond swimming; Stephan Widmer (Lenton) and Shannon Rollason (Henry and Mills) exemplify this cross-training approach.

After their performances in the Athens hothouse, the women of Australian swimming - and their sisters in other events - are moving to the center of the sporting stage, decked out in laurels...
...less and exercise more. We must pass this on to young children. Kids love to exercise, but sadly our way of life does not encourage them to do so. I send my child to a kindergarten in the woods, where students exercise every day; get in touch with nature; and eat healthful, fresh foods. There is no McDonald's, no advertising, no unnecessary distractions. This approach, however, takes dedication and money. Unfortunately the financial support we need is rarely forthcoming from the government. Barbara Fischer Murnau-Westried, Germany We shouldn't blame fast-food restaurants for making...
