...Dutchman "Lucky" Guus Hiddink. What the Russians did is learn and adapt in the course of a long tournament. In their first game, against Spain, the Russian back line played too far up the field and got torched by the Spanish front of Fernando Torres and David Villa. They weren't going to make that mistake against the speedy Dutch, and kept two defenders deep, never allowing the Netherlands to stretch the game as they had done so successfully...
...grew long hair and a beard and began doing different kinds of material - about drugs and Vietnam and America's uptight attitude toward language and sex. Fans of the old George Carlin weren't ready for it. Carlin got thrown out of Las Vegas twice for material that today would seem tame (one offending routine was about his own "skinny ass"). At the Playboy Club in Lake Geneva, Wis., he so riled up a conservative crowd with his jokes about Vietnam that he nearly caused an audience riot. Even Johnny Carson banned him as a Tonight Show guest...
...Times weren't always so flush in Toontown. In 1997, "George Clooney killed comic-book movies," says Millar. Joel Schumacher's joyless Batman & Robin, in which Clooney legendarily donned a bat suit complete with rubber nipples, left fans feeling abused. Studios turned their attention to fantasy literature like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings.

By May, several students had returned multiple times to get pregnancy tests, and on hearing the results, "some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were," Sullivan says. All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. "We found out one of the fathers...
...cross to Mario Gomez three yards in front. As Gomez swung his foot forward to score the sitter, the ball took a hop and he chipped it straight up in the air. It was comically bad finishing, and the kind of break that makes you think that things weren't going to go right for Germany. Austria pressed for a goal of their own in the 18th minute, and Erwin Hoffer blew an opportunity that told you this wasn't going to be an evening of miracles for Austria, either. The game soon settled into banality, with the Germans blocking...
