...sent. They dominate through their athleticism. Venus, who can serve a ball at 127 m.p.h., is actually less powerful than her sister. But she's faster, comes to the net more and chokes the court off from opponents, forcing them into more difficult shots. Serena's game is still raw; she tends to blast away from the baseline. When she's on, she's unbeatable. When she's not, the ball boys wear cups...
...boss of the Williams team: "Michael is thinking every day, for much of the day, how to make himself better as a racing driver and what he can do to help make Ferrari better." It is hard to imagine how he could get any better. Schumacher's combination of raw speed, racecraft, tactical awareness and sublime skill in the rain sets him apart from the pack. "It's easy to win one world championship," says two-time Ferrari champion Niki Lauda. "What's impressive about Michael is that he keeps coming back and doing it again." For this year...

After Bush's decision, the question becomes whether they'll ever get a fair chance...

Okinawa's sovereignty as a kingdom was snatched by Japan, then the U.S. after World War II, and then Japan again in 1972. Its main island, called Okinawa like the rest of the prefecture, is home to no less than 38 U.S. military facilities. And yet tourists and dream-seekers from the Japanese mainland flock to the archipelago's 60 tropical islands precisely for its slice of red, white and blue, an ethos Okinawa cultivates. Reminders of Uncle Sam abound...
