...supposed to be a replay of baseball's first international thriller: the Great White North vs. the South that Rose Again. In last year's rousing World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays snuck past the Atlanta Braves, and everyone was ready for Round 2 this October. Canada's Team had repelled a Yank assault to cruise to its American League East title. The Braves had staged one of the sport's come-from-behind astonishments to nip the San Francisco Giants on the last day of the season. This year all that separated the heavyweight champ and the top contender...

Fathers and daughters process beneath the swords to kneel; the girls place a white rose at the base of the cross while the fathers offer a quiet blessing. Splayed on the floor all around them are half a dozen photographers looking for the right angle and a camera crew from the BBC, in a syncopation of private praise and clicking shutters...
...replaced by something dramatically, and perhaps chaotically, less programmed. And yet most voters aren't going to forget their feelings about the current President when they cast their ballots in November. After McCain secured his party's nomination in March, he visited the White House to receive a Rose Garden endorsement from the President. "Dutiful" did not begin to describe the event. But McCain needed Bush's blessing to help him shore up support among conservatives...
