While a younger girl might cry off for something as lame as a broken fingernail, Dell'Orefice isn't going to let acheing feet and tiredness get in the way of an assignment. What soon becomes clear is that she feels highly privileged still to be doing a job that started with her first Vogue cover at the age of 15. She has had five more since, with recent career highlights including a catwalk appearance in Jean-Paul Gaultier's first show for Hermes in 2004 and John Galliano's Dior haute couture show in 2000. And to think that her sceptical mother dismissed her as an ungainly child with "ears like sedan chairs and feet like coffins". .

Nope, the sword cuts both ways. If "skeptic" is good enough for other issues of consensus science, then it's good enough for AGW. -PJ "Trake: Your lofty convictions are another blemish on the rump of congregational sectarianism." -Tumbler 5/15/07 .
Fallen Bainbridge champ still hanging around gym
Marie Welsh spun through the air, her body completing a flip with 2 1/2 twists before her feet landed solidly on the floor mat. Most of the Bainbridge High junior's body stopped twisting when her feet hit the mat. Her left knee was the exception. There was no audible pop, no exclamations of pain. Only a "mushy" feeling around her swollen knee signaled the torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus that brought Welsh's precocious gymnastics career to an equally precocious halt last May. The fear of reinjuring the knee never subsided. When she turned out for Bainbridge's first practice of the season in November, she would not even let herself jump from the low beam onto the floor. "I decided I wasn't going to do gymnastics because I just didn't want to reinjure it and go through that again," Welsh said.
