Since the early 90s, USA Basketball, the sport's governing body, would cobble together a group of big-name NBA standouts, give them a few days to practice, and expect gold at the Worlds and Olympics. The rest of the world, whose players often compete together since they've worn size 2s, is now too advanced for such slipshod organization...

Last spring, back when Lamont was a joke and Lieberman looked unassailable, Schlesinger took the time to tour Connecticut collecting enough votes to get himself the Republican nomination. The former state legislator and mayor of Derby was not exactly a political star, but no one begrudged him the work he put in to get the party's nod. As one former GOP lawmaker put it in a recent...
