Nobody in the audience smiles or talks; the models look like they're on the Bataan death march; and people slowly, lifelessly clap at the end. I've been to political panels, criminal trials, locker rooms of playoff losers, graduate English classes and the Ron Paul convention, and I've never seen people take themselves quite this seriously...
...that the mood in the boys' locker room has sharpened from towel-snapping to punch-throwing, Maddow might be just the sweet sister the place needs.

"Our biggest strength is our depth," Bryant said after the game, asked if the U.S. was concerned by how competitive the first...
...sometimes think she's already way ahead of me. The world comes to them in earnest so young: the testing, the teams, the workday that lasts longer than mine and often seems harder. The locker--just keeping that organized would have been beyond my 10-year-old self, but here she is, 4 ft. 11 1/2 in. (151 cm) of impish energy and poise and purpose, held together by imagination and Gummi Bears...
