...dive of death is a reverse 3-1/2 somersault in the tuck position. At the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, it had a degree of difficulty of 3.4, compounded by 2-the number of divers who had died attempting it. But the Dive of Death is what Greg Louganis needed to win the gold medal in the 10-m platform competition, his second of the Games. He nailed it, straight in, no splash...
...truth, Louganis began to come out of his tuck a year and a half ago. He took over the role of Darius in Jeffrey, Paul Rudnick's sometimes hilarious, sometimes moving off-Broadway play about gay love and sex. Darius, who dies of AIDS in the play, is described as "a true innocent, a handsome, completely sweet dancer in his 20s."

Every night last week, after going home for an hour to tuck her two children into bed, and all through the weekend, she was back in her small 18th-floor office at the Los Angeles County courthouse, munching on celery (she does not eat dinner), smoking Dunhills and scribbling furiously on a white legal pad. Clark, deputy district attorney Christopher Darden and the six other lawyers working on the case--along with a bunch...
...Washington state's Fifth House District, GOP neophyte George Nethercutt's nip-and-tuck bid to oust the House Speaker held steady. WillTom Foleybecome -- say it again -- the first sitting House Speaker to be dumped in 134 years?FOLEY: 45 (KXLY-TV)NETHERCUTT: 46BARRETT: A toss-up. But: "Foley's spent a great deal more money than Nethercutt, and he has at least gotten people to think a little bit about the value of being represented by the No. 1 member of Congress, instead of the No. 435 member...
