...Timer: 88 year-old Harold Rose, who bred, owns and trains hopeful Hal's Hope, recovered from a stroke last year and has gotten a wild ride he probably doesn't need from this colt. Hal's Hope is hot-and-cold--it took him three tries to break his maiden at Calder Race Course before he did it at six and one-half furlongs at a healthy 16-1 price. But the horse has two quality stakes wins in the Holy Bull and the Florida Derby. In last month's Blue Grass Stakes, Hal's Hope ran just...
...spectacle of rockets raining down on northern Israel has got to have Hafez Assad grinning - if he's able to, since a British newspaper reported over the weekend that the Syrian president recently suffered an incapacitating stroke. But Assad certainly has reason to smile, because the latest exchange of fire between the Jewish state and the Hezbollah guerrilla fighters just across the border casts a shadow over Israel's plan to complete its withdrawal from Lebanon without first concluding a land-for-peace deal with Syria. Hezbollah fired Katyushka rockets into the town of Shlomi on Friday, killing one soldier...

From his home in Marin County, Calif., he says, "I can see out to mountains, and the bay, water, trees and birds." Words and sentences come slowly, and he seems to dwell comfortably in a universe...
...conditions certainly impacted the Crimson's performance, while the Rams seemed comfortable battling the elements, cruising to a top finish on their home course. Six Rhode Island players broke the top 15, giving the team a final score of 609 and outdistancing second-place Hartford by a comfortable ten-stroke margin...
Mori's physical dynamism contrasted sharply with the dour frailty of his predecessor, who lay in a coma last week after a massive stroke. But the L.D.P. secretary-general was picked for the top post mainly because of his skills as a fixer in the back rooms of Japanese politics, where real decision making takes place. What his faction-riddled party needs most in these turbulent times--as the country faces a devastating volcanic eruption in the north, economic stagnation and a crisis of confidence--is someone who can hold things together...
