Freshman Jessica Yin also made great strides in her 100 Breaststroke to take the victory, as sophomore Alexis Todor finished strong to out-touch a shaved Tiger for second place. And senior Keiko Iwahara showed her mind-boggling speed, winning both the 50 Freestyle and the 100 Butterfly, with junior Jocelyn Ludwick completing the sweep...
Starr had not brought a new indictment in 1 1/2 years. While he was stalled, the lawyers in the Paula Jones sexual-harassment case were gaining speed, preparing a long list of witnesses who they thought might be able to testify to a pattern of aggressive sexual behavior by the President.

Lipinski, a wizardly technician on the ice, says that during her long program, lasting 4 minutes...
...ladies' field can match Lipinski's reliability on those tricky triple jumps. A particularly difficult combination, the triple loop-triple loop, is now a trademark of hers. She has improved her speed and coverage of the ice considerably since last year by trying to match her training partner (and U.S. men's national champion) Todd Eldredge stroke for stroke around the rink. That is no easy task, since at 5 ft. 8 in. Eldredge stands a good foot taller. Now that she is an Olympian, Lipinski says, "I just want to have fun, enjoy the experience and do the best...
