...best goals of the tournament in Brazil's quarter-final match against England - a scintillating Ronaldinho run, finished off by a showpiece Rivaldo left-footed flick. (Earlier in the tournament Rivaldo provided the tournament's most distasteful piece of gamesmanship when he feigned a face injury from a ball struck by Turkey's Hakan Unsal that had hit him on the leg. The Turk was sent off for a second yellow card offense - an incident that earned Rivaldo heavy criticism and a not-so-heavy fine...
...Justices struck a blow for private schools Thursday by upholding a Cleveland, Ohio voucher policy. The program allows taxpayer money earmarked for substandard public schools to follow students who transfer to private or charter schools - even if those schools are religious in nature.

Their argument is that Arafat does not seriously go after...
...million. He now ranks fourth in the world, and currently tops the European rankings, the Volvo Order of Merit. It was bad luck that slowed his progress - but it also helped him. As an amateur Goosen was considered as good as his countryman Ernie Els. But he was struck by lightning while playing in South Africa, leading to health problems. He turned pro in 1990 but made little impression on the European Tour until he broke his arm skiing in 1999. He used the enforced two-month layoff to consult Belgian sports psychologist Jos Vanstiphout. Since then there has been...
