About the only thing that didn't fail was Sherron Watkins' flair for numbers. In the sad tale of Enron's collapse, Watkins is the closest thing to a hero in sight. When she goes out for coffee, strangers stop to give her "attagirls" and ask for her autograph. She still goes to work each day at the company's headquarters in downtown Houston, where the tilted logo out front has yielded Enron a new nickname: the Crooked...
...sad. Heading into this season, there were all sorts of feel-good stories on the U.S. women's team. The best duo in the world for two years running was 5-ft. 4-in. driver Jean Racine, 23, and 5-ft. 11-in. brakeman-pusher Jen Davidson, 29, a resident of Olympic-host Utah to boot. "Jean & Jen" were the first-ever golden girls of bob, "so well-rounded, articulate and charming," as their website, bobsledgirl.com put it a few short weeks ago.

"Yes that kid connected with the lyrics, but so did a million other people, totally different kinds of people," says Shinoda, who feels that Linkin Park was vilified by a mainstream press that never got acquainted with the band's broader philosophy. The problem is that Linkin Park...
...because of its poor quality but because of the poor quality of the strips around it. As a victim of diminished expectations, collections of the strip such as "Zippy Annual 2001" eliminate that prejudice. But to me, Bill Griffith's art works best in the absurd and sad context of daily news. In fact, the San Francisco protesters had their fury appeased when the comics page editor announced to the crowed the re-instatement of "Zippy the Pinhead." Following a brief "huzzah" the protesters, in true Zippy spirit, reportedly began shouting "Cancel Zippy...
