Try Again SWEDEN Police investigating the stabbing murder of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh released suspect Per Olof Svensson and cleared him of involvement in the attack.

Explaining her rapid exit, Kournikova cited the awkwardness of interviewing fellow players and--if this makes sense to you--her overeating on the sidelines. Well, she could always fall back on her competitive tennis career. No, seriously. Maybe she could...
