...flush of Gulf War bellicosity, donned camouflage caps. Or the bad manners at Brookline in 1999, when Team U.S.A. - players, wives, hangers-on - stormed the 17th green to celebrate what turned out to be the winning putt, even though Spain's José María Olazábal hadn't yet played his. It's not a Europe-as-one spirit either - though the Ryder Cup and its women's counterpart, the Solheim Cup, are two of the only sporting events that feature a Team Europe. "But I guess as Europe does come together more and more...
...when Springsteen was just a local bar act, and they relished any opportunity to see him live. It was only fitting that his should be Hilary's first rock concert. Hilary and Ginny were seated in the 9/11 section, and it was clear that the women with puffy eyes hadn't worn all black simply to be fashionable.

This, however, was typically digressive banter from Clerici, 72, and Tommasi, 68. An announcing tandem for more than 20 years, they fill their broadcasts with more random ruminations, mutual dissing and off-color commentary than Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. "Even people who don't like tennis will watch them to hear what outrageous things they're saying and doing," says Rita Grande, an Italian currently ranked...
...liked seeing people on the street who looked like me." Now he is taking Spanish lessons back home in Ann Arbor, Mich., and has worked as a counselor at a Latin American-culture camp for adopted kids. Andrew's sister Malia, 11, was adopted from Bolivia. "We hadn't spent time in Latin America before the kids, but our children have brought us into this culture, and it is part of us," says their mother Kathi...
