...world, yells "C'mooannn!" at himself during matches. It's not the way the words are flattened by Hewitt's Aussie twang. It's the intensity with which they are delivered. Sometimes there's a variation, such as "C'mooannn, Rocky!", a salute to Hewitt's fictional fighting hero Rocky Balboa. He carries a dvd of Rocky IV on the road to crank himself up, although that seems unnecessary, considering the passion he puts into his game. "It helps me when I show some emotion out there," says Hewitt, 21. Emotion, even if it's negative, he says, "gives...
Hewitt is bracing for the return to New York City. He knows the crowd may well be pulling for a hometown hero like Blake, particularly in the shadow of the anniversary of 9/11.

...public warnings by GOP strategic thinkers against a hasty march on Iraq. Former Reagan and Bush 1 aide Lawrence Eagleburger said the U.S. had no grounds to take out Saddam unless Baghdad was about to attack America or its allies. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Gulf War hero General Norman Schwarzkopf recognized the importance of ousting Saddam, but cautioned against the U.S. acting alone. The harshest warning of all came from former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft, still a close associate of the President's father, who warned that the potentially catastrophic consequences outweighed any good that...
