Junior captain Samantha Rosekrans put together her second dominant performance of the weekend, dropping only one game in a 6-1, 6-0 win over Natalia Sanchez...
Romney has new challenges too. For one, he hasn't demonstrated that he has learned some key lessons from 2008, and he still seems unable to talk openly and with passion about his faith or political convictions. This has led to his second problem: among much of the Republican Party's smart set, Romney is not considered a satisfactory contender, in terms of talent, résumé or agenda, to take on Obama.

The wily President knows that the presence of foreign forces in his country is deeply unpopular, particularly when civilians are killed in the course of NATO military operations. Karzai, moreover, is humiliated and shown to be powerless when his protestations over such operations...
