...from the frayed cuffs of his faded jeans to the rolled-up sleeves of his basic blue shirt, tells these people he is one of them. He may be a millionaire trial lawyer, but he made his money by taking on corporations on behalf of regular folks, "and I beat 'em and I beat 'em and I beat 'em again." He and Elizabeth fall into a little routine onstage-she's the smart, gabby wife, he's the exasperated but loving husband-and when she interrupts him by mopping up some water that has spilled at his feet, he pretends...
...policy work wasn't yet doing Edwards much good, his "change in Washington" rhetoric wasn't either. In TIME's Iowa poll, Obama beat him, 35% to 25%, on the question of who "will take on special interests in Washington." (Clinton trailed with 19%.)

"Every time I get on the court, I believe I can beat him," says Nalbandian. "Not enough...
...Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s 2007 Summer Championships last week in Bloomington, Ind. With the tournament victory, Kumar and Ermakov qualify for a wild-card birth in the 2007 Polo Ralph Lauren All-American Tennis Championships in early October. On its way to victory, the Crimson pair beat opponents that gave the Harvard team as a whole—and this duo in particular—fits last year. In the final, Kumar and Ermakov took down Houston Barrick and Dominic Inglot from the University of Virginia—the school that finished last season ranked second...
