Although Kerr still plays professionally, he does possess quality coaching experience. After serving as a youth coach in Londons Football Association for two years, Kerr accepted a job as first assistant at his alma mater, Duke...
...groups may be stockpiling the extra balls and planning to hurl them in protest at the weekend conference of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund that begins Sept. 29. The balls are thought to be the troublemakers' weapon of choice--easy to hide, easy to throw, legal to possess and dense enough to cause damage.

Nor does the Bush administration possess such moral weight on the international stage that its absence could challenge the legitimacy of the conference. In case nobody noticed, there are precious few countries out there these days looking to the U.S.for moral leadership...
