...perfectly tailored to his movements, with its quick pulses over a steady dance tempo. As the music starts, he starts bopping his head to the beat, and that characteristic Walken gleam enters his eye.He’s got a lot to gleam about; the man has more pizzazz than Mikhail Baryshnikov, Napoleon Dynamite, and Jennifer Lopez combined. Walken is inexplicably adroit, and appears to not even break a sweat. He darts from scene to scene with such natural exuberance, it’s a wonder no music video auteur has thought of casting him before.

With his powerful ground strokes, hunky looks and seductive playfulness--not to mention the fluorescent shirts and white Capri pants--Nadal, 19, could give tennis its next real box-office star. That's a little unfair to Roger Federer, but pizzazz isn't the strong point of the stone-faced Swiss who ranks No. 1 in the world.

...Ammari makes his campaign pitch to a dozen men all clad in the traditional Saudi robe and headdress. As a member of Riyadh's city council, he vows, he would work to rebuild the capital's crumbling downtown into a modern urban hub. The setting and promise may lack pizzazz, but al Ammari jabs a forefinger into the air as he speaks, visibly thrilled to be a candidate in the Kingdom's first-ever nationwide election. Two days later, he is beaming after casting his ballot at a neighborhood school. ?It's great!? he exclaims. ?Finally, for the first time...
