...your dark horse for the Australian Open? The dark horse would be Djokovic. He hasn't risen to the heights of winning a grand slam event yet, but he's got that experience now. [Maria] Sharapova is interesting on the women's side. She's put on so much height recently, and that changes your game. You wouldn't think by much, but when you hit groundstrokes, you've got to get down to the ball...

Stretching south of the stadium gate is a row of huge dance clubs with names like Babyface, Coco Banana, Cargo and Angel, each competing with its neighbors to be bigger, brighter and louder. But on the other side of the road, the offices and shops are shuttered and dark by late evening when revelers start pouring out of taxis.

The party is enduring a dark night of the soul, almost entirely self-inflicted. After the excesses of the recent Republican majority in Congress, the party no longer sees a fiscal conservative in the mirror, while the Bush Administration's chesty foreign policy and churchy personality have driven wedges between conservatives and neoconservatives, between Evangelicals and pragmatists. Trying to find a candidate to rally around is like asking a roomful of picky eaters to agree...
