...course, is whether India can win it this time around. On paper, they have a strong team, especially their batting lineup. But that has been true in past campaigns, when they have mostly disappointed. In 2003, they were thumped in the final by Australia. A very unscientific straw poll of cricket fans in the shopping area closest to my house last Sunday revealed optimism mixed with suspicion. "Definitely India will win," said trainee hotel manager Zohaib Khan, 22, before a pause that captures the mood perfectly. "I hope...

The Dukes (2-5) were swept in a season-opening three-game series by then-No. 15 Georgia Tech, and tuned up against the local big league squad, the Pittsburgh Pirates, yesterday. Sunday holds in store a meeting with...

And the Democrats in Congress are finding Administration officials far more forthcoming with facts and figures about the conduct of the war in Iraq, in part because the White House knows that the next step - subpoenas - won't help their dwindling poll ratings.
