...acceptance, and she sings one now for developing nations like Mali, whose needs are often overlooked. "In Africa, we are not powerful," she says. "This music is just to say: we are not O.K. But - there is always a message of hope." Her most spirited missive is Niènafîng, a drum-driven salute to her homeland. "Who dares say that Mali has nothing to offer?" she demands. After listening to Bowmboï, nobody would dare...
...Across town, while Dan-ni-er sleeps the pregame afternoon away, the indoor and outdoor courts of the Lu Wan District Children's Athletic School echo with the clamor of wannabe Yao Mings. Teenage boys leap and shout and launch fadeaway threes, and a dozen girls who can't be older than seven dribble two balls at a time?perhaps the Olympians of 2020 and beyond.

His wife is glowing with pride. When Dan-ni-er sits down in the second quarter with 25 points (and Byrne?who will be cut in a couple of weeks and replaced by an American guard?comes in to score 20 points), he almost seems to smile. But this would be vanity...
