SUB: A few years ago, a gang of gung-ho scuba divers discovered a sunken wreck off the coast of New Jersey. It was dangerously deep, it was grotesquely tangled, and it simply couldn't be what they thought it was: a German U-boat. Their quest to identify the wreck became an epic and lethal struggle to solve a World War II mystery. BY ROBERT KURSON.

HOME: The entire world saw the shuttle Columbia explode in the sky last year. What few people knew was that the disaster left two American astronauts stranded aboard the International Space Station with no easy way to return. The untold story of their extended stay in orbit, and their nearly disastrous journey home. BY CHRIS JONES.

LANCE ARMSTRONG: The Tour de France is the most grueling physical contest on the planet. Winning one is an achievement; winning more than one is an astonishment. Winning five, and preparing fora record sixth, when you were written off as dead just seven years ago is nothing short of a marvel. BY CHRISTOPHER ANDERSON.
