...America's new spandexed sweetheart has big wheels to fill - you've won one, now go get six more (and at least a few against the big guns like Basso and Ullrich, when, and if, they can race again). Though Landis's tale doesn't include a return from cancer, his gutsy comeback, while enduring searing hip pain, gives it some Lance-like back-from-the-brink flair.

Before last week, it took little less than an hour to reach Tyre from Beirut, a speedy cruise down the coastal highway past the banana plantations and orange groves that fill the narrow littoral wedged between the Mediterranean sea and the Lebanese mountains. Not any more. After Israel's onslaught against Lebanon began last Wednesday, the southern portion of the country was quickly sealed off after all the bridges crossing the Litani river, which runs across much of southern Lebanon, were destroyed and roads cratered, making them...
