...what might happen to the 400,000 Kosovars crowded into Albania if the choppers fly. "If we launch attacks from Albania, the Serbs aren't going to see it as a neutral country," a Joint Staff planner says. "And a lot of those refugees are in crowded camps within range of Serbian artillery." Already smarting over charges that the allied bombing accelerated Milosevic's ethnic cleansing, the Pentagon doesn't want to be blamed for triggering more civilian carnage...

...evening allows me my first glimpse of Gordon and gives me my first hard evidence that racing fans don't come within 500 miles of normal. These may even be the same people who think Elvis is alive. "Oh, my God!" a woman quivers when she spots Gordon in a shower of camera flashes. (Women tend to like him more than men, many of whose development seems to have stalled in the towel-snapping phase.

We like the goofy hair...

...nuts on the Dueling Dragons--two inverted, high-speed coasters that run in synch and, twice during the two-minute loop-the-loop, come within 2 ft. of crashing into each other. The Ice ride nearly skirts an adjoining castle. The Fire ride is even cooler; it has a camelback dip and lots more delirious twists. As a survivor giddily noted, "it catches you right in the back of the tonsils." And stand in the separate, front-row line to get the ride's full, giddy force; if you're going to fly, you may as well go first class...
