...first round of singles action, Wang—the fifth seed—defeated Erin Hoe of Washington...
...worry: Waller has not burned his Bridges. His gift is what it is: he writes about tough men and tough women with tough rows to hoe, characters just human enough to believe in and just godlike enough to fantasize about.

The number of captured illegal immigrants fell from 16,000 in 1991 to 9,000 last year. Hong Kong police superintendent Hoe Tak-yan talks about phasing out all patrols in five to 10 years, even of dismantling the fence. "Living standards are getting closer and closer together," he says. Indeed, the border is becoming a dangerous blur. Last August, Yu Man-hon, an autistic 15-year-old boy, slipped away from...
