...rebels in a thousand small ways, showing up at interviews without the usual grim-faced handler and shrugging off a 9:30 p.m. curfew in favor of a refill of iced coffee. The boyish bowl cut has been replaced by long, highlighted locks and a Sporty Spice wardrobe of tight T shirts, baggy clamdiggers and unlaced Nikes...
...body. They are extremely difficult to detect. Testing for testosterone in Sydney will involve the maligned t/e (testosterone/epitestosterone) ratio. The usual ratio of these two hormones in a urine sample is about 1 to 1. Very few people have naturally elevated t/e ratios of 4 or 5, but the cut-off for the Sydney test is 6. By setting the number so high, the I.O.C. can't really discourage athletes from boosting their testosterone to that level. "Athletes don't stay ahead of testers, as people claim," says Shorter. "The testers send a message about what's the best stuff...
...horror for those who like to make fun of new dumb sports is that the I.O.C. has eliminated the exhibition-sport category and is planning to cut, not add, new events. That means artistic roller skating probably won't make the cut. Artistic skating is a lot like figure skating, but it's done on '70s-style quad roller skates and to even worse music.

Unlike other national forests, Mark Twain is a maze of public and privately held lands cobbled together in the 1930s after Missouri was virtually clear cut to make ties for the transcontinental railroad. Hidden in Mark Twain's hills and hollows are more methamphetamine labs than anywhere else in the nation and an immense acreage of cultivated marijuana. The forest also harbors more specialized hate groups than anyplace else in America. Its denizens, who proudly call themselves hillbillies, are among the most independent, suspicious...
...most daring moves sometimes end up on the cutting-room floor. In Aguilera's video Come On Over (All I Want Is You), Landon created a part in which male dancers push female dancers' heads down to waist level before the women playfully slap their hands away. It was a little risque for teen pop. "Britney and Christina are both at the age where they don't want to be little girls anymore," says Landon, who has worked with both. "But their audience is still made up of little girls. So sometimes you have to cut back...
