TIME consulted with urban experts to choose the best among the leaders of America's most challenging cities, those with populations over half a million--a crop that brings in six Republicans, 22 Democrats and one unaffiliated mayor. That cutoff excluded mayors like Randy Kelly of St. Paul, Minn. (pop. 288,000), who has slashed crime 30% in 3 1/2 years. Our top performers range from Chicago's imperial Richard Daley, who after 16 years is widely viewed as the nation's top urban executive, to newcomer John Hickenlooper, the beer brewer who closed Denver's worst budget gap ever...
García's action will cause no immediate distress for creditors. Peru's debt is relatively small, and the country is already far behind on its payments. Indeed, the U.S. Government last week suspended new aid to Peru because of a law requiring a cutoff of funds to countries that are more than a year in arrears. But his policy might set a dangerous precedent: if such debtors as Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, which together owe more than $200 billion, were to limit payments to a fraction of export earnings, many large U.S. banks might face a squeeze on profits...

Papadakis dove exceptionally well in the afternoon to secure her second-place finish with a score of 493.00. Loftus, the first-place finisher, was only .65 points above...
Scherf qualified for NCAAs by winning the ECAC Championships last weekend, finishing the 5,000-meter run in a time of 16:12.14—a personal best. She shaved nearly three more seconds off that time to secure a top-eight finish—the cutoff for All-American honors...
