...Dick Pound, founding chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said recently. "I just want every athlete in Athens to be clean." They won't be. "We believe the gap between the sophisticated cheats and the testers is closing," says Australian Sports Drug Agency spokesman Shaun Winnett, "but you can never give 100% guarantees." That's because the pattern hasn't changed: as scientists develop new tests for banned drugs, the cheats switch to substances authorities haven't heard...

Appealing to local pride, he warned that the "Eastern octopus" would crush Bullock's individuality. Bullock's other directors, led by Winnett's son-in-law, President Walter W. Candy Jr., 58, argued that a merger with Federated (60 stores, including Manhattan's Bloomingdale's, Miami's Burdine...

It is also another step toward a goal set earlier this year by Federated President Ralph Lazarus: to double...
