Shargh has bravely broadened debate here about the issue, publishing critics of the government's hardline stance and informing Iranians that such radicalism carries high costs. The closure, suggests Atrianfar, may have been provoked by a recent caricature on the nuclear negotiations. He lays the cartoon on his desk, and points to the two figures it shows on a chess board.

Nadal favors the power game, but his speed separates him from the pack, especially on clay, which delivers high bounces that allow him to get to shots only cartoon characters should reach. Spanish players have traditionally flourished on clay courts, but Nadal is in another category. He's won a record 60 straight matches on dirt. "I've never seen the guy get tired," says McEnroe...
