...time, the sport was an afterthought in Serbia. Ivanovic learned the game on a makeshift court at the bottom of an empty swimming pool. Crosscourt shots sent players crashing into the walls. Another tiny challenge for Ivanovic: in 1999 NATO launched air strikes against Belgrade to halt President Slobodan Milosevic's campaign of ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. On the first night of bombing, Ivanovic and her family hid in a cellar. "But we had the windows glued, you know," she says, "so they wouldn't go into little pieces."

...Obama did add his old hope riff at the end of a question-and-answer session later in Scranton, Pa., but it seemed an afterthought. The bulk of his presentation, especially the Q&A, was solid protein. He offered Hillaryesque, do-good details: If we return to the national obesity levels of 1980, it would save $1 trillion in health-care costs! He claimed that the mortgage-lending industry had spent $185 million on lobbying over the past decade, and Big Pharma had spent $1 billion.
