...answer, but they'll also remind you that when you're busy waiting in a food line or trying to will your paycheck into keeping pace with galloping inflation, you don't have time or energy to dicker about cricket. "Sport isn't exactly uppermost in our minds," says Godfrey (names have been changed to protect the speakers), an office administrator. "We're worried about our day-to-day existence." So is Mugabe, which might explain why Zimbabwe's status as a World Cup host - and the credibility it might bring him - matters so much. The President turns...

Since Sept. 11, strange things have happened to Phil Godfrey. Hailed as a hero, he also lost his job when Benchmark started layoffs. He has visited ground zero three times, trying hard to weep, but he can't. People have said he did amazing things that he didn't do: hoist a woman down the stairs, give someone a $50 bill to get home.
