Spain started strong, building a five-point lead within the first five minutes. The team's point guard phenom, 17-year old Ricky Rubio, dazzled the crowd with a no-look pass for a Pau Gasol lay-up, and a behind-the-back shake of Jason Kidd. The youngest player to ever win an Olympics hoops medal, Rubio looks, and plays, like the legendary "Pistol" Pete Maravich. He's got the think dark eyebrows, floppy hair, and flair. NBA scouts are already salivating...
What's next? How about the uniforms? In Beijing, ITTF vice president Claude Bergeret has been telling anyone with a tape recorder that the female table tennis players should not be afraid to shake things up a bit in the wardrobe department. The baggy shirts - the same as the ones the men wear - don't do much to set the female players apart.

...more sophisticated hometown audience that is harder to satisfy with formulaic celluloid offerings, the famous Hong Kong film scene is in crisis. Granted, overall cinema takings rose slightly in 2007, helped by flashy new movie houses like West Kowloon's Grand Cinema, where are seats wired to shudder and shake along with the mostly imported on-screen action. But now, tough times loom and the industry's recovery is by no means certain. The only real prospect of hope on the horizon, selling films to China, is also fraught with compromise...
...their way. As the political strategist Bill Clinton has pointed out, the key to winning any close contest is psychological dominance. George W. Bush got into McCain's head and rattled his focus in 2000, and Obama is clearly doing the same thing now. McCain can't seem to shake him off and sell his own agenda. Presidential campaigns aren't just about photo ops, but TV images matter in shaping voters' views. From his dramatic overseas trip to his high-profile meetings at home, Obama is aggressively seeking out stronger political environments than McCain is. Part of McCain...
...alternate universe goes like this: The last thing Obama ought to do is pick a figure from the Washington establishment. He needs, instead, to reinforce his message of change and shake up the status quo with an outsider untainted by the Capitol games. Such a pick would be aimed not at the party's base but at the pool of independent voters who still aren't comfortable with Obama and are looking all summer for signs that he is both something different and up to the job. Those who back this approach have been talking about Kaine for months...
