...Does Gadenne believe in them? "I believe you should keep your heart open," she says. "Dream, believe, create, succeed-I love that saying." She's followed it, too: after her marriage ended, she brought up four children on her own "and they've all turned out great." Now the shop keeps her young: "I love listening to what kids have to say. Some of them have such wonderful imaginations. It's a shame when they're told, 'Don't believe that, it's not real.' Children who don't have that bit of fantasy in their life-they...
...Shane's got a lot of potential as a player and a person," says Greatorex. After two years in Halls Creek, the constable first class sees among the town's youth little ambition to succeed-or desire to leave. In the dying light, Clinton Cox's small posse of junior Auskick players are making way on the field for the senior squad. "So much talent goes to waste around here," Greatorex says.

"I think he will try to adopt more of a China economic model, probably continuing much of the harsh political regime but allowing more private enterprise and loosening foreign investment rules," says Latell, a senior researcher at the University of Miami's Cuba Institute and author of the recently published book After Fidel. "And I think he's also going to want better...
...connect-the-dots view of terrorism also diminishes its power of persuasion. For Washington to succeed in putting together a multinational force to help the Lebanese government neuter Hizballah, it must win the participation of other states, perhaps France, Egypt and Turkey. But many governments by now are loath to go along with anything that sounds like an extension of the Bush doctrine. "If you compare Hizballah to the forces that flew planes into the World Trade Center on September 11," says a French diplomatic official, "you may lend your arguments more force, but it may also start undermining your...
