...wedding on TV, she asked her mother why no one ever rolled out red carpets for her. So naturally, before her first Olympics, she knew she'd win five track-and-field gold medals. Even a phenomenon's reach must exceed her sprint: Jones won three golds and two bronzes. Unfortunately, that was not the only weight she would have to wear around her neck in Sydney. After she won her first gold, devastating the field in the women's 100 m, came news that her husband, shot putter C. J. Hunter, had tested positive for performance-enhancing substances. Jones...
...single-minded Internet entrepreneurs into a lean, mean conquering force. Although Levin insisted that the new headquarters be in New York, the cost was the defenestration of much of Time Warner's corporate staff. Many of the top executive roles have gone to AOL. Middle managers from the two companies have clashed over, among other things, ad-sales strategies and Time Warner's compensation structure. "A lot of [AOL executives] came in thinking they were going to tell us how to run our businesses," says a top Time Warner executive, a veteran of that company's internecine wars. "Then they...

But tuition at even the least expensive nonsectarian private schools is more than $5,000. Clarence Gilmore, 30, a fire fighter with two children at St. Adalbert's, says, "I would love to send my kids to a private, suburban school" that isn't religious, "but the prices are too high." And he far prefers St. Adalbert's to the public schools...
...might think they were in the same room. But Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and his Palestinian counterpart actually sat for TIME in Jerusalem and Gaza City, respectively. Two men, just a few miles away, in fact separated by light-years of misunderstandings. So it was this summer when Barak came to Camp David resolved to settle the Palestinian question with an unprecedented concession: a Palestinian state. Later he considered having Jerusalem's holiest sites administered by a third party. It was a stunning, failed leap. Negotiations collapsed, the Holy Land exploded, and Barak resigned in an effort to stay...
