...Midway through a monotone recitation of his accomplishments to Hispanic conventioneers in Los Angeles last Friday, Governor Gray Davis, his blue suit perfectly pressed, stood ramrod straight on the podium and made an admission that came as no surprise. "My wife has all the charisma," Davis said. "I have zero." That same day his Republican opponent, Bill Simon Jr., was in Salinas, also courting Hispanic voters.

People who claim to like hockey will stay away from Bright Ice (or stroll in midway through an intense ECAC game), and “diehard” NCAA fans will ignore Harvard opponents until they become fashionable pool picks in March. The fans who watch the late rounds of the NFL Draft won’t recognize Jamil Soriano if and when he’s picked—and football is one of the sports that draws relatively well...
