...Fifty-three days after announcing a tentative agreement, the Giants and Bonds completed a contract Monday with a most unusual provision. It says, in essence, that the team can void the deal if Bonds is indicted "for any criminal act" specified in the contract, according to the Associated Press, and that Bonds waives the right to challenge - or to authorize the players' association to challenge - the team's decision.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he intends to wait until fall to decide whether to run for President. By then, "either one of these folks captures the ideas and captures the nomination, or they don't," Gingrich says, adding that a candidate with his name recognition and credibility with conservatives would still have time to catch up. Rushing into the race merely plays into the hands of the professional...
