Harrington's recent success has come with an asterisk. Tiger Woods was absent with a knee injury during Harrington's last two major wins, and many now question whether the Irish player's workmanlike skill can challenge golf's chosen one. Harrington carries no false hope. "When Tiger's having a good week, there's not much opportunity for anyone else," he says. His mental coach has instructed him to focus on his own game, as there's not much he or anyone else can learn from studying his monumentally talented rival. "It's silly to pay attention to someone...

Regardless, Joker One manages to show its best, most unique face through...
...million who struggle with care that keeps getting more expensive and less efficient. No one would argue that electronic health records alone will fix that, but few people deny that it's a critical first step. "It will require a whole lot of leadership and a whole lot of skill," says Glaser. Americans demanded no less when they went to the polls in November. Now it's up to Washington to deliver...
