When the Olympics come to Salt Lake City in 2002, the phrase "Let the Games begin" may take on a whole new meaning. Randy, 19, has been known to wield a samurai sword and says, in the spirit of true sportsmanship, "You know that if you've hit a kid in the head with a bat and he drops, you don't hit him again." Josh, now 20, is probably not the best guy to run through Salt Lake with the Olympic torch. He has no regrets about taking down that McDonald's. He is probably going to cool...
...pressures of the "sandwich generation": trying to raise young children and take care of aging parents at the same time. That's a problem I don't have to face.

He has named an heir, but he needs a savior...
...told, the scientists excavated the bones and teeth of 17 individuals. Given their age, no one was surprised that they showed a mix of chimpanzee-like and human traits that as a whole are more primitive than those of A. afarensis: smaller molars, larger canines and thinner tooth enamel, suggesting a diet rich in easy-to-chew fruits and vegetables. The new species, says paleontologist Tim White of the University of California at Berkeley, a co-leader of the expedition, "is way closer to an ape than to an australopithecine and is significantly different from any other hominid...
