...soon shine as brightly as a sequined Serena Williams ensemble. In 2002, there was not a single Chinese in the top 100 of the WTA tour. Last year, there were three in the top 50. The breakout moment for Chinese women's tennis came in 2004 when a hitherto unknown Chinese duo struck doubles gold at the Athens Olympics. Even the tennis cognoscenti, who easily negotiated the tongue-twister names of the blond, leggy Russians who have come to dominate the tour in recent years, knew little about Sun Tiantian and Li Ting. Today, they have been joined by another...
...initial communications breakdown appeared to occur when a rescue team found the trapped miners at around 11:45 p.m., Tuesday, and informed workers at a clean-air station of their discovery.

Mostly unknown to each other, let alone to King, they ventured by invitation from across the U.S. to Paschal's Motor Lodge in the heart of black Atlanta. Wallace (Mad Bear) Anderson spoke for a poor Iroquois confederation of upstate New York. A deputy came from the bedside of Cesar Chavez, who had barely survived a 25-day fast in penance for violent lapses by striking California farmworkers. Tillie Walker and Rose Crow Flies High represented Plains tribes from North Dakota, while...
