Losing game: in an endless game of tag, for every drug found and banned, a newer, more effective one soon takes its place

Article Abstract:

The issue of drugs in sports surfaced again when two Chinese swimmers were sent home from the eighth World Swimming Championships. With the Sydney 2000 Olympics coming up, Australian researchers are trying to come up with new methods to detect newly found hormone-producing drugs that enhance performance. However, they contend that the faster they close down on detecting one drug, athletes move to the next one that is harder to detect.

A ripping yarn

Article Abstract:

Steven Wilson, a descendant of Andrew John Gibson, claims his great-great grandfather was Jack the Ripper. Gibson was known to Australian police as a swindler, a convicted killer, and a multiple bigamist. He was in England during the Ripper murders, and the murders stopped when Gibson came to Australia. The Ripper's identity, victims, and motives continue to be debated after over a century.

Carr's electoral gamble

Article Abstract:

Bob Carr, New South Wales' Labor leader, faces poor re-election chances after serving only one term. The politician's popularity decreased after a series of broken 1995 election promises about freeway tolls and health. Carr hopes for an electoral distribution to stay in power but strategists believe the redistribution will see Labor lose six seats.
