...Absolutely." The word almost knocked me to the floor, as if LeBron James threw his massive elbow into my puny chest. Did he really just say what I think he said? During a June interview for TIME's Olympic preview issue, I asked James if he could guarantee that the United States would win gold in Beijing. It was a throwaway question, a standard strategy sports journalists employ to see if an athlete will prematurely pump his chest. Sure, guarantees get overblown, but they do say a lot about an athlete. He or she is confident, even cocky, and willing...
...risks of naming him to the ticket. He was forced out of the race for President in 1988 after Michael Dukakis' campaign leaked evidence that Biden had plagiarized a speech from British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock, and in doing so had misrepresented his own class background. In June 2006, Biden offended Indian-Americans when he claimed a great relationship with them thanks to the fact that in Delaware, "You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."

...think any one can prepare for this role," says Nugen, who has foregone a personal life in favor of 16-hour works days since he was dispatched to Denver in June soon after Obama cinched the nomination.

By the time Nugen arrived in Denver the convention was already severely behind schedule - a symptom of a primary season no one expected to last until June - and was more than $10 million underfunded. Soon after, word came down that he would not only need to build the stage and venue at the Pepsi Center but he'd need to build a second stage - without adding any additional staff - at Invesco Field so Obama could deliver his acceptance...
...they won't get it," explained Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Aviv Shiron. Now, Israel has to contend with a barrage of international media coverage of the two peace vessels sailing into Gaza harbor - and the publicity boon this will give to the Hamas militants who have ruled Gaza since June 2007 when they split with Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, who governs from the Palestinian inland enclave in the West Bank. Hamas' leader in Gaza, Ismael Haniyeh, personally welcomed the activists. Israel and Hamas are sworn enemies (the Islamic militants say they want to destroy the Jewish state) but nonetheless they...
