"We're in uncharted waters," Reyes admits. If Agassi's agility fails him, maybe he can rely on a big serve, a surprising ally against Malisse.

The Spanish students instead are led off by their professors in another direction. They are on their own visit to the Parliament, and in hopes that no one will notice, I find myself...
Some prefer to take their chocolate hit--and run . Gina Sodergren, 27, likes to stop in for a prework brew at the Leonidas Chocolate Café in Santa Monica, one of two opened in the Los Angeles area in the past year by the Belgian chocolate company. "They have stuff like Orange Velvet and Peppermint Delight and Mexican Cocoa," she says, "drinks you can't find anywhere else...
