Yrotciv in Iraq Bush's backpedaling on the war. By Michael Kinsley Posted Friday, Sept. 22, 2006, at 7:38 AM ET Harold Pinter wrote a play a while back called Betrayal. (Rent the movie: It's terrific.) The plot was a fairly mundane story about an adulterous affair among affluent London literati. What gives the tale its haunting magic is that Pinter tells it in reverse: starting with the couple breaking up and ending with that first, ambiguous flirtation.
Others have tried this device. Martin Amis used it in a novel called Time's Arrow to make some point or other about the dangers of nuclear war. There is a Stephen Sondheim musical called Merrily We Roll Along, which starts with the hero ...

Cheating Accusations in Mental Sports, Too By DYLAN LOEB McCLAIN Published: August 8, 2006 Accusations of cheating at the largest tournament of the year have the chess world buzzing — and have tournament directors worried about what they may have to do to stop players from trying to cheat in the future. The cheating is alleged to have occurred at the World Open in Philadelphia over the July 4 weekend and to have involved two players in two sections of the tournament. In each case, the player was suspected of receiving help from computers or from accomplices using computers. Neither player was caught cheating, but one player, Steve Rosenberg, was expelled. The other, Eugene ...

You make the call Is it good baseball strategy or a weak attempt to win? Tuesday August 8, 2006 8:29AM; Updated: Wednesday August 9, 2006 11:19AM This actually happened. Your job is to decide whether it should have. In a nine- and 10-year-old PONY league championship game in Bountiful, Utah, the Yankees lead the Red Sox by one run. The Sox are up in the bottom of the last inning, two outs, a runner on third. At the plate is the Sox' best hitter, a kid named Jordan. On deck is the Sox' worst hitter, a kid named Romney. He's a scrawny cancer survivor who has to take human growth hormone and has a shunt in his brain. So, you're the coach: Do you intentionally walk the star ...

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing hired Fisher on Thursday in a one-race deal for the Indy 300 on Aug. 13 that she hopes will lead to a full-time ride in the Indy Racing League.

The TV Deal the NBA Wishes It Had Not Made The Silnas of the ABA's St. Louis Spirits still cash in on the contract that began with the merger in 1976. By Jonathan Abrams Times Staff Writer July 31, 2006 Roughly once a month, the NBA cuts 31 checks to NBA teams as revenue from its multibillion-dollar national television contract. There are only 30 NBA franchises, so who gets the extra check? The money goes to brothers Ozzie and Dan Silna, co-owners of the long-forgotten ABA team, the Spirits of St. Louis. Thirty years ago, Ozzie Silna, with attorney Donald Schupak, negotiated a deal that cleared the way for the ABA to merge with the NBA. It ranks as one of the best sports deals in ...

Landis Tests Positive for High Levels of Testosterone From Associated Press 8:50 AM PDT, July 27, 2006 LONDON — Tour de France champion Floyd Landis tested positive for high levels of testosterone during the race, his Phonak team said today on its Web site, raising questions about his victory. The team suspended Landis, pending results of the backup "B" sample of his drug test, just four days after Landis stood on the victory podium on the Champs-Elysees, succeeding seven-time winner Lance Armstrong as an American winner in Paris. The Swiss-based Phonak team said it was notified by the UCI on Wednesday that Landis' sample showed "an unusual level of ...
ents Simulating High Altitude [for athletes] Could Be Grounded

Three of the top United States cyclists in this year’s Tour de France use a special method to enhance their performance, and it is legal. They sleep in altitude tents or altitude rooms that simulate the low-oxygen conditions of high altitude. This prompts the body to make more oxygen-carrying red blood cells and can lead to improved endurance. The cyclists — Dave Zabriskie, George Hincapie and Levi Leipheimer — are among the athletes featured on the Web site for Colorado Altitude Training, which makes the tents, known as hypoxic devices. Runners, triathletes, skiers, rowers and the Philadelphia Flyers are among the elite athletes who espouse the virtues of the ...

Floyd Landis, center, is joined on the winner's podium in Paris by third-place finisher Andreas Kloeden of Germany, right, and second-place rider Oscar Pereiro of Spain. Landis' victory was the eighth straight by an American rider. PARIS — The craziest Tour de France in memory ended Sunday the same way the last seven had: with an American wearing the yellow jersey, this time with a Landis instead of a Lance. After stunning feats of willpower and woeful cracks of concentration, Floyd Landis' arthritic hip held up and he held on for the ceremonial ride over the cobblestones of the Champs-Elysées. "I kept fighting, never stopped believing," Landis said after leaving ...

Floyd Landis pedaled with the fury of a French soccer player who just heard a particularly nasty yo-momma joke during the Tour's decisive Stage 19 individual time trial and flew his funky 'praying mantis' position to the race lead. Riding with his arms canted upward in front of his face in the special body position he has adopted in time trials to alleviate the strain on his hip injury, Landis crossed the finish line with his mouth contorted into a smile that was indistinguishable from a grimace. The normally affable Landis didn't headbutt anyone when he hobbled off his bike after finishing, but he did chuck a water bottle at a scrum of photographers and cameramen who invaded his space ...

Jews Call For 'Munich 11' Memorial July 5, 2006 - 3:15PM The Olympic movement should ensure the 11 Israeli athletes killed at the 1972 Munich Olympics are officially recognised during the Beijing Games' opening ceremony, the Jewish community says. It would be the first time the sportsmen have been officially memorialised at an Olympics opening ceremony since they were taken hostage and ultimately murdered by the Palestinian terrorist organisation Black September at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Hundreds of athletes taking part in an inaugural Australian Jewish sporting event, the Maccabi Australia International Games, have gathered at Sydney Olympic Park at Homebush for a memorial service ...

For many young women, one size fits all – no matter how that makes them look. THE Sausage Casing Girls are everywhere this summer, their muffin tops hanging over their hip-skimming jeans, clothes shrink-wrapped around fleshy bodies that look as if they've been stuffed — like forcemeat — into teensy tops and skintight pants. Visit the local mall, any beach boardwalk or the sidewalk in front of your neighborhood high school and you will see why healthcare professionals are so alarmed about expanding waistlines. And while chunky teen boys and young men hide in cartoonishly large basketball jerseys over big T-shirts and elephant-legged shorts, girls generally do not. They may ...

The guys in the electric shop at Alcoa's north plant never know what to expect when their co-worker, David "Buzz" Sawyer, goes hiking. "I'm always getting into some kind of predicament," Sawyer said with a laugh. "It's the same thing with my wife. She rolls her eyes like, 'Here he goes on another crazy tale.' " Depending on the time of year, Sawyer's trail exploits might revolve around bears or blizzards, bugs or blisters. And, occasionally, bare butts. "I knew nobody would believe me if I just told 'em what I'd seen," he noted. "So I took a picture." That photograph is now one year old. But Sawyer still refers to it on occasion - if ...

Fans lose trousers to gain entry By Harry Peart BBC sports correspondent, Berlin Hundreds in the crowd were in their underpantsFootball's governing body has explained why up to 1,000 Dutch fans watched a World Cup tie wearing no trousers. Around 1,000 fans arrived for the Ivory Coast tie in their traditional bright orange trousers - but bearing the logo and name of a Dutch brewery. To protect the rights of the official beer they were denied entry, so the male fans promptly removed the trousers and watched the game in underpants. Fifa said an attempt at an "ambush" publicity campaign was not allowed. Fifteen major companies have paid up to $50m (£27m) each for ...

THE 100,000-strong England fans’ army is officially the biggest at the World Cup. The Co-ordination Fan Project, the tournament’s official supporters’ organisation, confirmed the figure last night. It is the largest ever show of overseas support by English fans. And if Sven’s men reach the final on July 9, project chiefs expect the 100,000 will swell to a staggering 300,000. England already have more supporters in Germany than 12 of the other 32 countries combined — and 20 times as many as tomorrow’s opponents, Trinidad and Tobago. The second largest is Poland, with 80,000, then Holland 65,000. Fan Project director Thomas Schneider, 46, said: “There ...
