Puerto Rico, where residents can't vote for the U.S. President, will hardly be a battleground in next year's election. So why have Democratic candidates been cultivating the island's key politicians? Kenneth McClintock, minority leader of Puerto Rico's Senate, got a visit last December at his San Juan office from Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, who dropped by to plug his candidacy. Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean has been a faithful McClintock phone pal. McClintock says his "added value" will kick in when he tours states like New York, Illinois and Florida next January to recruit the large...
...offering much good news for Team Schwarzenegger. Two statewide polls last week showed the actor lagging behind Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante, the leading Democrat in the race to replace Governor Gray Davis, should he be ousted. And Davis seems positively resurgent. The polls also show conservative state senator Tom McClintock gaining, which is not exactly an inducement for Schwarzenegger's chief Republican rival to bow out and allow the party to unify behind the movie star. McClintock tells TIME there is "no scenario" in which he would get out and that if Schwarzenegger's campaign "spent a fraction...
Team Schwarzenegger is hoping that other Republicans in the race--particularly State Senator Tom McClintock, around whom the most ardent conservatives have rallied--will follow Simon to the sidelines. But the actor's strategists know he must do more than winnow the field to draw voters.

Getting them off the couch to vote on Oct. 7 could...
...after the Guangdong debacle it becomes evident that for McClintock and Byrne, the Year of the Goat has begun about three weeks early. "The players that we invited from the U.S.A. are not doing well," says Sharks coach Liu Qiuping after practice. "Usually we bring in one tall American and one short one. When Yao Ming went to the NBA, we got two tall guys to take his place, but it didn't work out as we had wished. They do not play as if they are in a war. They should be full of spirit and energy. Instead, they...
...Shanghai scores the first 10 points and leads Hong Kong 44-29 after one quarter. By this time gentle Dan McClintock has slammed home three dunks and has dared to yelp in protest to a referee. His wife is glowing with pride. When Dan-ni-er sits down in the second quarter with 25 points (and Byrne?who will be cut in a couple of weeks and replaced by an American guard?comes in to score 20 points), he almost seems to smile. But this would be vanity...
