...RYDER CUP TEAM It shouldn't have been close. But as the final day's play began, the Sergio Garcia-led Euros were on the brink of humiliating the superstar-laden U.S. team again. Then the Americans made the most remarkable comeback in Ryder Cup history, winning 9 of 12 matches--and exulting with an ungolflike, but very American, dog pile on the 17th green...

The U.S. fired cruise missiles at Bin Laden's training camps near Kandahar in Afghanistan after last year's terrorist attacks on U.S. embassies in East Africa. The U.S. has patiently cajoled the Taliban, via direct talks as well as through the movement's traditional backers in Pakistan and Afghanistan, to hand over Bin Laden, but to no avail.
