...surprisingly hard to say. For someone who has dominated the U.S. media for months, Walker's identity remains markedly indistinct. He is, as both Woody Allen and Winston Churchill might say, a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. It's a public relations trick many professionals would love to pull off so well: we know so little about him - and we're left wanting to know everything...
When his airness, Michael Jordan, decided last summer to reflate his 38-year-old self for NBA career No. 3, he risked becoming a basketball sideshow, a one-man Harlem Globetrotter surrounded by a bunch of clowns called the Washington Wizards, a team whose only trick was to make itself disappear come play-off time.

And they are even experimenting with firing the DNA directly into immune-system cells at high...
...Bears have done it with flair too, winning several games with frantic comebacks, trick plays and answered Hail Mary passes. There are few dominant teams in the NFL this year--only the St. Louis Rams have a better record--so the Bears stand a good chance to advance. Among their biggest obstacles: the Green Bay Packers, who have beaten them twice...
