...words with actions. Realizing they were heading into not just California but Super Tuesday primaries in Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, which all have large Latino populations, the Obama campaign has made Latino outreach one if its top priorities. The front desk of its Los Angeles headquarters on the ninth floor of an anonymous office building in Korean town has a sign-up sheet titled: "We really need your help reaching out to Spanish speakers." The list is full. The campaign's extensive Latino outreach program includes 6,000 precinct captains and 223 teams of 1,500 trained volunteers. They...
...pundits and politicos have been saying for the past month: the Democratic contest is a two-person race, and Edwards is not one of them. Four days after coming in a disappointing third in his native state of South Carolina, Edwards told a crowd in New Orleans' Ninth Ward, where he launched his campaign more than a year ago, that he will "step aside so that history can blaze its path."

Caputo, who is ranked ninth in the nation, is expected to be out for the remainder of the season after sustaining an injury three weeks ago at the Lone Star Duals. Jantzen, who had been wrestling at top form before his injury, is expected to return by the end of the season, but the jury...
...understand why you're playing that white man's game. So stupid." For Gerald Coleman, a goaltending prospect in the Anaheim Ducks organization, those words still sting, like a high-stick to the forehead. At the time Coleman, an African-American who grew up in Chicago, was in the ninth grade, and he just told the high school basketball coach that he was picking hockey over hoops. Despite those discouraging words, and the frequent racial taunts he received while playing youth hockey, Coleman stuck with the skates, and became a promising...
