...free throws by Rebecca Lobo in the last seconds. Lobo may be the biggest star in the W.N.B.A., but she's not the only one. In Phoenix, there's Australian Michele Timms, the guard known as Tank Girl for her spiked blond hair and aggressive play. And there's Lisa Leslie, the Wilhelmina model who plays center for the Sparks. And Sheryl Swoopes, who's expected to join the Houston Comets soon, now that she has given birth to a boy named Jordan after youknowwho...

...near-meltdown over the Jerusalem mayor's plans to allow a new settlement on disputed land, Benjamin Netanyahu's tough response put the talks back into motion. "The Prime Minister was very clear about saying said he would do his best to prevent the project," said TIME's Lisa Beyer in Jerusalem. "That really helped." TIME's Dean Fischer adds that the U.S. may have convinced the Israelis to commit to a freeze on settlements in exchange for the peace talks.
