...guns help. Last year, Arroyo declared what she called an "all-out war" to destroy the N.P.A., and she has promised her commanders $200 million for better weapons and pay for their troops. The rebels, for their part, have stepped up operations against what they call an "illegitimate, rotten and brutal" administration. With fighting intensifying nationwide, TIME was invited to join a rebel platoon in Mindanao to take an inside look at the conflict that history forgot...

Beaten five times last year, Federer is flesh and blood, prone to the odd burst of mishits and tension-induced mistakes. A slight injury, a blazing hot day, a rotten night's sleep - any number of little distractions could level the playing field for a strong opponent, who might also just have a golden night like Russia's Marat Safin did in his semi-final against the Swiss in 2005. Federer's the percentage tip, but he's not unbeatable...
