...decided with 10-point supertiebreakers. “It’s hard to judge the significance of the outcome of a supertiebreaker,” Fish said. “It’s not entirely indicative of who’s better. You like to continue your momentum into the third set.” Leading the way for the Crimson in wins was freshman Davis Mangham. After losing his opening singles match, Mangham rallied to win his next five matches. He won his second and third singles matches with increasing ease, taking the second in three sets...
...recent poll of 1,024 Missouri voters, sponsored by Time and CNN, found that Obama's standing in the Show-Me State has improved significantly in the past month. A must-win state for John McCain's campaign - once considered fairly safe - is now a virtual tie, with the momentum going in Obama's direction. That's not something that can be accomplished solely with the support of liberals and minorities - not in Missouri. Here in the borderland between North and South, between East and West, between rich and poor, between city and farm, any would-be President must stay...

...FTSE-100 index had fallen by 5.18%, even though the bailout plan was swiftly followed by coordinated rate cuts in the U.S., Britain and elsewhere. France's CAC 40 closed 6.3% lower on the day, and Germany's DAX lost 5.9%. Certainly, at least some of the downwards momentum was generated the day before by sinking New York shares and rocky rides in other stock markets across the globe. Brown believes elements of the plan he has stewarded for Britain could also be applied in other countries to help to reduce the turbulence buffeting his own economy...
