...Abdullah's supporters say their man is more likely to dedicate himself anew to reform. "Prepare to be surprised," says a senior UMNO official. "Worrying about Endon has been a distraction for the Prime Minister. Once he has had a chance to mourn her passing, you'll find that he comes back much more focused and more determined than ever to fulfill his agenda." Abdul Razak Baginda, who heads a pro-administration think tank, the Malaysian Strategic Research Center, observes: "He may even be stronger. After all, he promised his wife that he would soldier on and leave behind...
...field goals from Jon Rocholl in the final 4:07 of the second period to make it 7-6 at halftime. After Erik Hinterbichler kicked a 25-yard field goal midway through the third period to boost Dartmouth’s lead to 10-6, the two teams sputtered anew. The visiting Lions appeared to be building steam with five minutes left in the game, but Dartmouth’s Josh Dooley tackled Jordan Davis for a two-yard loss at midfield on fourth down to force a turnover. Dartmouth was forced to punt and despite a pass interference penalty...
...streets of the Windy City, where baseball, like politics, is a blood sport, the Sox-'Stros series has divided the city anew.

...America loves a good rags-to-riches story, and for the Packers, theirs began anew in 1992. From out of nowhere, or rather the New York Jets, came a new general manager, Ron Wolf. He hired Holmgren, the crackerjack offensive coordinator for the 49ers who can go both ways - tough and tender. That same year Wolf traded a first-round draft choice to the Atlanta Falcons for backup quarterback Brett Favre, who soon replaced incumbent Dan Majkowski. Favre has since replaced Bart Starr in the hearts of many Packer fans as he has driven the team first to respectability, then...
...last great space race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. China's space program is conducted largely in secret, and Japan's modest achievements don't make headlines. But plenty is at stake. Over the past few years, a centuries-old rivalry between China and Japan has flared anew. While the two countries are increasingly interdependent economically, relations remain uncomfortably strained as fast-growing China begins to challenge Japan as the preeminent East Asian power. This spring, for example, anti-Japan riots erupted in a number of Chinese cities, and diplomatic disputes over natural-gas-field rights...
