...hope our agencies act independently of the I.O.C., with its conflict of interest in keeping stars eligible," says Shorter. "I want to get reciprocity, so any country that's not tested up to our standards can't compete here, and any sport that's not tested up to a uniform standard is out of the Olympics. Being in the Olympics is a privilege, not a right. I want to get the athletes involved. The Australians are voting on maybe giving voluntary blood tests in Sydney to prove they're clean.

...weren't for the effort, I'd have joined a cult long ago. I long for the sense of community, the built-in belief system, the catchy nicknames. On TV they make cult joining look easy: show up and chant a little, and some guy gives you a uniform and feeds you porridge. But my experiences have proved otherwise. After wading through three-quarters of the multiple-choice admission test for one cult in L.A., a monitor caught me copying off the guy sitting next to me and threw me out.

First he looked back, thanking Clinton for helping build a strong economy and a strong foundation. Then he swung forward: "The question in this election is whether we erode that foundation, or build on it."

Referring to the Republicans' charge at their convention that the Clinton...

...also kept his distance from military service. Though there is no evidence that he intervened with his draft board to stay out of uniform, Cheney made full use of legal means to avoid being called up. From 1963 to 1965, he got four student deferments. By the following year, he was married and got a different deferment, as an expectant father.
