...crucial Game 3 victory (he finished with 42), and 17 in the fourth quarter of Miami's Game 5 win (finishing with 43). Last night, a 36-point outing, he hit the bank shots, fall-aways and foul shots that made the difference. "[His teammates] had so much respect for him because they trusted him," said Miami Heat coach Pat Riley, who won his fourth NBA title, and his first since 1988, when he coached the Magic Johnson-led Showtime Lakers. "They trusted that he wasn't for himself only. They trusted that he was all about winning. Wade...
...Even if, as they got older, girls did understand somehow what the vaccine was protecting them against, surely the messages parents send to them every day and over the years - about respect, responsibility, judgment and the boundaries of appropriate sexual behavior - count for more than the implicit suggestion of a single vaccine.

Those who graduate from Eton will always have a good start in life. But they need not be snobs. And, as the school has a big chance to prove, they need not all be privileged when they show...
...late 1970s, India's not until the early 1990s. But India is younger and freer than China. Many of its companies are already innovative world beaters. India is playing catch-up, for sure, but it has the skills, the people and the sort of hustle and dynamism that Americans respect, to do so. It deserves the new notice it has got in the U.S. We're all about to discover: this elephant can dance...
