...qualities to be admired in certain celebrated athletes. Watching, say, Lleyton Hewitt, many struggle to see past the scowling and the obnoxious self-exhortations to the traits that lifted a little trier to the peak of tennis. While most Australians preferred Steve Waugh to Hewitt, many couldn't warm to the cricketer, either. Grim and prickly, Waugh eschewed elegance for efficiency and good manners for a competitive edge. To his eternal credit, he took time out from his sport to mingle with India's poor and sick. But his defining knack was to produce big scores when...

But the All-Stars soon relinquished their lead when Ruggiero one-timed a goal on a USA power play...

Last Saturday’s snowstorm covered Cambridge in more than an inch of snow and temperatures reached a low of 33 degrees Fahrenheit. The very next day, the weather was beautiful, and weather is expected to stay warm for at least another week, with temperatures hitting the high 60s, according to Walter Drag, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Taunton, Mass.
