Goodbye, Andre

By Johnathan P. Rossing and Jonathan P. Rossing · Monday, Sept. 4,2006 10:47 p.m.

Andre Agassi played his final professional match last weekend at the U.S. Open. During the long standing ovation he received and his brief, eloquent farewell speech, I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. It was sad to see such a remarkable tennis icon step off the court for the final time. But more than anything, I was moved by witnessing this last public chapter in Andre's amazing maturation from arrogant, aimless youth to selfless, philanthropic hero.

Not our kind of blast

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 4,2006 10:41 p.m.

After a Nevada newspaper recently reported that the Department of Defense was planning to conduct the largest nonatomic blast in U.S. history in our backyard, the residents of Bloomington and surrounding areas were understandably alarmed. Fortunately, the DoD has announced it won't run the operation here -- but that doesn't mean it's time for complacency. Mitchell, Ind., the rumored sight of the planned blast, is a small town 45 minutes away from Bloomington, where the government has held tests in the past. The area is strikingly similar in topography to Bloomington, with rolling hills, limestone deposits and an extensive cave system.

Hot air ballooned

By Alyson Brodsy and Andrew Shaffer · Monday, Sept. 4,2006 12:20 a.m.

As the Hoosier players linked arm-in-arm march alongside and behind IU coach Terry Hoeppner, a football not made of pigskin appeared in the end zone. Within seconds, the football -- inflated with hot air -- ballooned its way into the sky. This "football-up-high" signaled the game's opening kickoff -- not to the fans filling the stadium but perhaps to the fields filled with tailgaters too tanked to know the reason they were drunk in the first place.

By Alyson Brodsy and Howard Fendrich · Monday, Sept. 4,2006 12:14 a.m.

NEW YORK -- Crouched alone in the silence of the locker room, a pro tennis player no more, a red-eyed Andre Agassi twisted his torso in an attempt to conquer the seemingly mundane task of pulling a white shirt over his head. Never more than at that moment did Agassi seem so vulnerable, looking far older than his 36 years, wrestling not simply with his bad back but also with two overwhelming and conflicting emotions.
