...bends--brought on by ascending from the depths too rapidly--unreliable equipment, panicky colleagues grabbing another diver's air supply, collapsing shipwrecks and nitrogen narcosis, a state of mental impairment that afflicts divers below 70 ft. or so. Kurson takes us into the gossipy, cliquey subculture of hard-core wreck divers, men who can come to blows over a chipped teacup from a sunken cruise ship. He also expends a fair amount of ink trying to explain why anybody would risk so much for so little. The answer boils down to a desire to explore the shadowy depths...
...many other aspects of his presidency, Bush's faith played different roles before and after 9/11. The original promise to empower faith-based social-service groups, a core piece of Bush's domestic policy, was very much in keeping with the self-help trajectory of his spiritual journey and that of millions of others as well. In a country in which Christian authors write diet books (to help you get Slim for Him) and addiction books (Holy Smokes!

A Ghost Is Born will probably do even better than its predecessor, though on first listen they have little in common. This time the songs are more loosely constructed, with Tweedy's delicate dirges giving way to roaring, rambling guitar solos. There are no hit singles here--"You can't hear it on the radio," Tweedy acknowledges on the final track, The Late Greats--but the album may still be the year's most addictive...
...been as active in the commercial market, but it may have developed the most innovative cooling product for the Games. This winter Nike tested its Precool vest, which looks like a James Bond jetpack, on the Australian field-hockey team and found that it slows the rise of athletes' core body temperature 19% during competition. The company's researchers instruct athletes to wrap themselves in the close-fitting vest, which holds about a dozen ice packs, for 60 minutes before a race or game. During the first 30 minutes, the athlete relaxes; the next 30 are spent stretching and warming...
