...think he means that with them having put out so many records and being so popular,” Sam Hewitt, the lead guitarist, interjects in regard to the question of opening for the synth-rock giants...
...even before the doors opened there last fall, Roy, a South African based in New York City, was already much talked about for the supple and intricate design proposals she exhibited at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in Manhattan and in a one-woman show last year at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. One of them is for a spa on the Okavango River Delta in Botswana. And we do mean "on"--the open-air guesthouses would float atop man-made "lily pads."

But is his drive to win - every time he steps on court - as powerful as ever? In Hewitt's relationship with his fianc?e, Belgian world No. 2 Kim Clijsters, and his days spent caddying for Greg Norman in December, some observers see signs that Hewitt's obsession with tennis may be starting to splinter. His sterling performances in the Davis Cup last year proved he could still beat anyone in big, stand-alone matches...
