P Mark Spitz

Q: How did Mark Spitz feel when Michael Phelps broke his record in 2008 with eight gold medals?

P Bruce Jenner

—Matthew Pepe, Chicago

A: The champion swim-

mer, 62, says he’s proud of Phelps, 27, who beat his 1972 record of seven gold medals in a single Games. “I was happy,” he says. “Records are meant to be broken.” Spitz, who travels as a motivational speaker, also had no trouble parting ways with his famous facial hair. “It had a good run, but who wants a gray mustache?”

WALTER SCOTT ASKS …

Mary Lou Retton The 44-year-old, who won the gymnastics all-around title in 1984, is on the USA Gymnastics Board of Directors and lives with her husband and four daughters (three of whom are competitive gymnasts) in her hometown of Fairmont, W. Va. Why do you think you’re still one of the most beloved Olympians? Maybe it’s because I was just this little kid

from West Virginia who nobody thought could do it, and as a society, we tend to root for the underdog. How has the sport changed since you competed?

They’re doing such difﬁcult things! The routines you saw me do 30 years ago are very low-level compared to what they’re doing today. What do your daughters think of your achievements? P Jackie Joyner-Kersee

Q: Is Jackie JoynerKersee still married to her former coach, Bob Kersee? —Raven Erickson, New Orleans

A: After 26 years of mar-

riage and four Olympics, they’re still going strong. The track and ﬁeld star, 50, says the secret to their relationship during her

HIV. I take my meds and go about the business of living.” Louganis, 52, is now a mentor to U.S. Olympic divers and will be with the team in London. “It’s true mentoring,” he says. “It’s taking in the whole person and not just the athlete.”

They’re very proud of me. They’ll go on YouTube and watch the old footage and make fun of my hair and leotard, so they bring me back down to earth real quick! You had hip replacement surgery in 2005. Are you still active? I can still ﬂip, but I’m not really

supposed to! It was a combination of the pounding that I did to my body and genetics. My father also had his hips replaced. The most important thing is that the pain is now gone. Email your questions to Walter Scott at personality@parade .com. Letters can be sent to P.O. Box 5001, Grand Central Station, New York, N.Y. 10163-5001.

P Greg Louganis

Q: Greg Louganis made headlines when he revealed he was HIV-positive in 1995. How is he doing today? —Vickie K., Lynn Haven, Fla.

A: “I’m doing good,”

says the 1984 and 1988 Olympic gold medal diver. “I’ve had my ups and downs, but my health has been pretty stable lately. I don’t put a lot of energy into my

unique—you take on the world,” Jenner, 62, says. “Reality TV is not that big a deal, but it does bring you fame.” The 1976 decathlon champ has found a new generation of fans on Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E!, Sundays, 9 p.m. ET). “There’s a huge audience who only know me as Kim’s stepdad, which is ﬁne. Being a dad is more important than winning the Olympic Games.”

WHEATIES’ 1ST OLYMPIC COVER STAR Pole-vaulting champ Bob Richards was the ﬁrst athlete featured on the front of a Wheaties box, in 1958 (below, his 1969 appearance). He and his wife breed horses in Gordon, Tex.

“It was a high honor,” the 86-year-old says. “It wasn’t about fame. It was about helping kids dream great dreams.” See more Olympians who’ve graced the famous cereal box through the years at Parade.com/wheaties

OTHERWORLDLY READS In Deborah Harkness’s fab YEAR ZERO Aliens who’ve been enjoying (but not paying for) Earth’s music for decades ask a copyright lawyer to help them avoid a fortune in fees—or they will destroy the planet. Author Rob Reid, who cofounded an iTunes forerunner, takes

follow-up to A Discovery of Witches, Oxford scholar and reluctant sorceress Diana time-travels to Elizabethan England with her geneticist/vampire husband, Matthew, looking for ways to harness her burgeoning powers.

A Florida time-share billionaire and his luxury-obsessed wife ﬁnd that the economic crisis strains their marriage and derails their plans to build a 90,000-square-foot mansion in The Queen of Versailles, a documentary both scathing and haunting. (Rated PG)

HIGH WHISK, HIGH REWARD Twelve acclaimed cooks test their skills—and their luck— in season four of Bravo’s addictive competition series Top Chef Masters (Wednesdays, 10 p.m. ET), set amid the casinos and buffets of Las Vegas.

Baby on Board

Malaysian riﬂe shooter Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi is at press time the only Olympic athlete who’s expecting—and soon: She’ll be eight months pregnant at the time of her competition. Any chance she’ll bow out? Not if she can help it. “I was lucky to get the Olympic spot,” she has said. “My baby is looking out for me.” ON THE COVER

The veteran, who hails from St. Petersburg, Fla., iss among the 33 athletes with military backgrounds who are expected to make Team am USA this year—the most in history.

Actually, it’s Wenlock and Mandeville (below). This year’s squidgy mascots get their names from a town and a hospital in England. Since the debut of Schuss, the unofﬁcial mascot of Grenoble’s 1968 Winter Olympics, all sorts of colorful creatures have helped give the Games a little local ﬂavor.

Not to blow our own horn (well, maybe just a little), but Team USA has won more medals in the Summer Games than any other country—a record that seems likely to stand for a while.

OLYMPIC TRIVIA

Why is it the 30th Olympiad but only the 27th O Summer Games? War is in fact the answer. Three wartime Olympics—1916, W 1940, and 1944—were canceled, but they counted as Olympiad 194 years. yea All three were slated for war zones, too: Berlin, Tokyo, and London. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time! Lo

Remade in the USA

Gymnast Danell Leyva was born in Cuba, but his mother brought him to this country when he was 18 months old to treat his severe asthma. Growing up in America, he says, gave him opportunities he wouldn’t have had otherwise; now his biggest dream is to stand on the podium and “hear our national anthem. I can’t wait for that moment.” Even if making the team here posed a bigger competitive challenge, these foreignborn athletes are all suiting up for the U.S. of A.

THE GREATEST OLYMPIAN OF ALL TIME? No doubt about it, swimming legend Michael Phelps (left) has the Midas touch, with the most golds to his name. But he still needs three more medals to top Soviet gymnast Larysa Latynina’s record haul. Can he add to his hardware this summer? Stay tuned.

With so much supporting evidence surrounding it, why is evolution still called a theory and not a fact? —Peter Walsh, Harrisville, R.I.

The term theory has several deﬁnitions. One of them refers to a set of principles that govern or describe and explain a body of facts. For example, consider the subject of music. When one is a serious music student, one studies music theory. The term theory is often confused with the term hypothesis. In science, however, the meanings are different. One starts with a hypothesis. When it is conﬁrmed—through observations or evidence or experiments, and generally accepted by scientists to be true—it becomes a theory. This is the meaning that applies to the theory of evolution, which is a broad subject, not a single fact.

Marriage, an Owner’s Manual

As another wedding season draws to a close, here’s what I’ve learned about making those “I dos” last

my wife, Cathi, and I had a knockdown, “How can we possibly last?” argument—on our honeymoon. We were in an antique store in Maine, where we had decided to buy some beautiful glass marbles. I thought we should get a variety of colors; Cathi said they should all be the same. The intense, inane disagreement we had roused all of our worst fears: If we couldn’t even make a decision about marble colors, how could we negotiate marriage? Two decades after our big ﬁght, Cathi and I are still married, and more solidly than ever, with two children. But I’ve heard about too many marriages that were ended too easily and impulsively, both among our acquaintances and through my job as editor of Modern Love, a New York Times column about 21stcentury dating and mating. Whether you’ve said “I do” this summer or did so years ago, here’s my best advice on staying together.

Acknowledge that you each are responsible for your own happiness. This point was best

Your children will survive, and they’ll have fun stufﬁng each other in the laundry hamper in the meantime. Find your own private Miami and book a trip for two.

Even if you’re considering divorce, delay making a ﬁnal decision—and keep delaying. In

Nix the Facebook fantasy.

Pre-Internet, you had to be resourceful to flirt or fling with an old sweetheart. But these days, we have Facebook: a world of bored people trolling for ex-flames. If you’ve been checking out the profile of Mr. or Ms. Perfect and dreaming about the nirvana you two could share, project into the future—to the messy divorce and ruptured lives, and to the chal-
