What's your take on Andy Roddick's game? Andy's got talent. I think he tries to blast winners rather than wait for the right ball to blast.

A Starbucks-like coffee shop with baristas from Madras sells cappuccinos in the main rotunda. Heavy blast-proof doors - identical to those at U.S. embassies around the world - are fitted into the regal marble lintels Saddam built...
