...ERIC AND BETH HEIDEN. In the final weeks before the Olympics, the U.S. Speed Skating Team established a training camp in Davos, Switzerland. There, on one of the world's fastest speed-skating rinks, they churned through one exhausting workout after another, honing the technique and building the stamina required for what may be the most physically demanding of all sports. Few living things can travel a mile faster than the men and women who, hunched over their skates like broken-backed dolls, swoop around an oval of ice at more than 30 m.p.h. Each stroke is a study...

In fact, the oath specifically forbids using or suggesting the use of poisons. The policy adopted by Oklahoma tries to avoid any conflict with medical ethics by requiring "trained medical employees" to insert a drug-carrying catheter and inject the lethal...
...Head over Heels, an eccentric little comedy about what zoologists call pair bonding. The trouble with the pair on view is that only half of it, an unsteady young man named Charles (John Heard), is bonded. The other half has gone back to her husband. She is Laura (Mary Beth Hurt), a pretty and appealing but not very confident young woman who regards herself as quite ordinary. To the love-sotted Charles she is Cleopatra, and that is part of the problem. Each of them is unstrung, he by the crazy intensity of his love, she by his insistence that...
