...While growing up in a suburb near Chicago's South Side, idolizing Jordan's Bulls, Wade was seriously recruited by only three colleges. He chose Marquette, in Milwaukee. "My hope was just that he would get some quality playing time at Marquette," says Wade's high school coach, Jack Fitzgerald. But he has improved his game every year in college and the pros, and in 2004, Shaquille O'Neal demanded a trade from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Heat in part because he knew he could co-exist with the ego-free Wade. "Everything that happened in L.A.," says...
...White House aide Karl Rove, who generally won't approve any flight that costs more than $500, was waiting for his Southwest Airlines flight from Baltimore to Manchester, N.H., to take off last week when he got a stunning BlackBerry message from his lawyer, Robert Luskin: "Fitzgerald Called. Case Over." Patrick Fitzgerald, the special counsel investigating the leak of former CIA officer Valerie Plame's identity, had sent a fax saying that absent any unexpected developments, he did not anticipate any criminal charges against Rove.

...Manchester that Democrats favor "cutting and running" from Iraq--bold words to show that "the Architect," as Bush has called him, is back to battle unencumbered at a time when the White House needs his strategic instincts more than ever.

...Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, tells TIME that the prolonged inquiry reflected Fitzgerald's legendary thoroughness. "I think he wanted to have some level of confidence that he had not only turned over every stone, he'd turned over every pebble," Luskin said. "Karl is obviously relieved. He felt, and I certainly believe quite correctly, that he'd done his very best to cooperate as best he could, right from the beginning. This has taken an enormous toll on him and his family, to be in the center of something like this and to have these things said about...
...news release that Rove "does not belong in the White House." His statement continued: "If the President valued America more than he valued his connection with Karl Rove, Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago." Christopher Wolf, lawyer for the Wilsons, issued a statement asserting that Fitzgerald's decision "obviously does not end the matter." The couple have long talked about seeking civil damages from officials involved in the case, and Wolf's statement concluded: "The day still may come when Mr. Rove and others are called to account in a court of law for their attacks...
