Perhaps inspired, perhaps emboldened, Lin took charge, collecting a rebound and taking it coast to coast. Lin showed impressive athleticism, driving hard to the basket through heavy traffic with his right hand, but maintaining enough composure to lay in a floater from six feet out while drawing a foul...
...board of Tennis Australia, which for the moment is losing the battle to make Australia a force in world tennis again. Cooper was once among a handful of local men in the world's Top 10.

Elimination of the pesticide DDT and crackdowns on hunting and development have allowed the national bird to rebound from 417 nesting pairs in the lower 48 states in the early 1960s to more than 7,000 today, not to mention a population of 40,000 in Alaska. The government has a year to decide whether to grant the proposed polar-bear listing, but if the case...
