...Hamilton is certainly not short on confidence. When he first met Ron Dennis - now his Formula One team boss - as a 10-year-old in a borrowed suit, Hamilton promptly told him he wanted to drive for McLaren. Three years later, he joined the team's support program for promising young drivers. But, say former team managers, he's ready to listen and learn when things go wrong. Hamilton has a rare "capacity to question himself - to analyze very clearly after a race," says Frédéric Vasseur, general manager at the ART Grand Prix team behind Hamilton...

His boss alleges that the Bush team may have obstructed justice by firing several of the prosecutors for investigating Republicans or for not investigating Democrats--a serious charge that the G.O.P. says is itself politically motivated. Bharara's job is to make the case. An early victory: he got four of the U.S. Attorneys to testify, and two of them said they had felt political pressure. Bharara's next step could challenge presidential power. The White House has said Rove will talk only in private and without a transcript, but Bharara plans to chip...
