	Panama - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Panama
		In 1939 Panama's protectorate status was ended by mutual agreement, and in 1974 the two countries agreed to negotiate an eventual transfer of the canal to Panama.
		One transferred ownership of the canal to Panama (effective from 1990) and the other guaranteed its subsequent neutrality, with the conditions that only Panamanian forces would be stationed in the zone, and that the USA would have the right to use force to keep the canal open if it became obstructed.
		Constitutional amendments approved by the assembly in 1991 included abolition of the army and, although this was rejected in a referendum in 1992, in 1994 the army was formally banned as a constitutional entity.

		Olympic venues will be patrolled by snipers and encircled by multiple fenced perimeters equipped with motion detectors and cameras, said Col. Eleftherios Ikonomou, spokesman for the national police.
		It is a potent combination for the first country to host a Summer Olympics since the Sept. 11 attacks, Col. Ikonomou said.
		The Olympic Games, however, is a place where all nations come together." With 202 nations participating - each with its own set of enemies - the Olympics could serve as an "attractive gathering place" for the forces of terrorism, he said.

		In more concrete terms, hosting the Olympics would be the catalyst for modernizing the overburdened public infrastructure of San Diego and Tijuana.
		Still, staging the summer games is a historic objective that merits the support of the region.

		A third Olympics would not just tie Malone with future Hall of Famer David Robinson for most Olympic appearances by a US men’s basketball player, but if a third gold medal was to be realized, he would become the only male basketball player to have earned three Olympic golds.
		Named a member of the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team, he was forced to withdraw on Aug. 19, 2000, because of a knee injury (torn cartilage in his left knee) suffered against Sacramento on April 11 which also forced him to miss the Spurs final four regular season games and all four playoff games.

	Baseball America - Alan Schwarz: Rocket would like to suit up in red, white and blue
		But it's hard to imagine that a pitcher with his prestige and talent-he had an 11-7, 3.68 record for the Yankees and was leading the American League with 154 strikeouts-would not make the team, even after a half-season away from the majors.
		As it was in 2000 when the United States beat Cuba to win the gold medal in Sydney, Team USA will be composed of mostly 40-man roster players on option to the minors or others not on 40-mans.
		In 1991, he was the only major leaguer, when asked by Baseball America if he would leave his team in midseason to play in an Olympics, who said that he would; several years later, he suggested that he might want to play for the 2000 Olympic team and then retire.
