...decided to do two TIME covers to show the breadth of our Olympic preview, which begins on page 44. And as evidence of our global reach, TIME's Asian-edition cover features Chinese athlete Liu Xiang, who four years ago became China's first male ever to win track-and-field gold and now is a vessel of 1.3 billion Chinese people's hopes. The three are joined by 97 other athletes, including some familiar names like Michael Phelps and many others that you'll learn. Twenty-nine TIME reporters from around the world contributed capsule profiles of these athletes...
...bright young things tried to seduce us toward Osaka, Japan, or Paris or the "next great international city," Atlanta. One result of covering six Olympiads for this magazine was that I came to see that the real competition on display at any Olympic Games is not on the track or in the pool but offscreen, among the many ferociously determined lobbyists holding $1 million lunches to try to make their city the host for some Games in the future...
...season 2 begins (AMC, sundays, 10 p.m. E.T.), it's Valentine's Day, 1962. Chubby Checker's Let's Twist Again plays over an opening montage of the main characters. Sounds like a party, but like The Sopranos (for which Weiner was a writer), Mad Men uses its sound track ironically.

...summer that starting in May 2009, its law school will offer an accelerated J.D. program to be completed in two years instead of the traditional three. The Chicago school, which will continue to offer a three-year program as well, is not the first to let some students fast-track their legal education. The University of Dayton School of Law and Southwestern Law School, in Los Angeles, already have two-year express tracks. But as the first top-tier law school - ranked ninth in the country by U.S. News & World Report - to offer the program, Northwestern could be especially influential...
...Less time on campus most likely won't mean a break on tuition. While Northwestern has not yet set the costs for its two-year program, administrators have hinted that fast-track students will be paying somewhere around the $128,016 that students shell out over the course of three years to get a J.D. "We generally charge by the degree rather than the time served," says Van Zandt. "The real savings will be the extra year of salary students make by getting out into the marketplace faster." That's around $150,000 and up for most Northwestern Law grads...
