Dole and his GOP allies attacked on three fronts last week. They ridiculed Clinton’s legal argument that he may be entitled to put off the Paula Jones sexual-harassment suit because he’s too busy being commander in chief. Then Dole assaulted the morality of the president’s veto of a ban on “partial-birth abortions....

Then Casey took a team that appeared to be rebuilding and steered it up the Eastern Conference ladder. He's helped the Raptors navigate a major midseason trade while presiding over DeMar DeRozan's development from a one-dimensional offensive threat into a multifaceted centerpiece.

Wade’s hot status is a far cry from when he was drafted in 2003. He had few endorsement opportunities and his deal with Converse—a brand that had fallen from the top of the basketball shoe chain and had been in bankruptcy—was paltry in comparison to LeBron James’s deal. James, who was drafted out of high school that same year, rode the hype express, bagging a $90 million dollar contract from Nike....

The Kenyan champions held their counterparts from Tunisia to a barren draw in the first leg played in Nairobi. Kerr says he believes in the ability of his players, and their potential to eliminate the former African champions. “Why not?
