Authorities in both countries used the same words to describe the thwarted plots: “home-grown terrorism. The Internet now plays the greatest role in recruiting radicals to causes that espouse terrorism. Home-grown terrorists don’t need to go to Iraq. They simply need to log on to the World Wide Web, do their homework and bide their time. The United States will remain preoccupied with a divisive and horrendously expensive war halfway around that world that does not now and never did have anything to do with fighting terrorism.

) The Pac-10’s serious ball was played among the six Arizona-California schools. When the Pac-10 finally abolished the divisional system and consolidated the conference in 1999, Oregon State took an annual beating. It recorded six straight losing league records, never finishing better than sixth, until the Beavers broke through last year. They won the league title and advanced to the CWS for the first time since 1951. This year, in another sign of the leveling playing field nationally, OSU is the only repeater in the 2006 CWS field. North Carolina has a more established baseball tradition than the Beavers, but still has never done enough to be considered an elite program. It remained well in arrears of the four Atlantic Coast Conference programs to its south — Clemson, Georgia Tech, Florida State and Miami — until now… It remained well in arrears of the four Atlantic Coast Conference programs to its south — Clemson, Georgia Tech, Florida State and Miami — until now. The Tar Heels’ second-place finish in the ACC this season was their best in 16 years, in a league that has oddly underachieved throughout its history. Both Oregon State and North Carolina are home-grown teams, having convinced the best local players that they don’t need to flee further south to win big in this sport. The Beavers have 24 in-state players on their roster — including a stellar pitching core that has carried the team to this point. They fill in the rest not by raiding the warmer states, but by sticking to their backyard: The four non-Oregonians to play Saturday were from Washington, Nevada or Montana.

“While Wimbledon is about providing a spectacle – the finest tennis players in the world competing in more than 600 matches over two weeks in a classic, English country garden setting – the event must be underpinned by the best management practice,” says Ritchie. “We need to generate enough income to attract the best players, both in prize money and through state-of-the-art courts. “On top of this, we aim for a healthy surplus to plough back into British tennis, perhaps paving the way for a home-grown Wimbledon champion. “A former director of West Ham United football club, Ritchie has sport in his blood, though not at the risk of keeping a clear head for management. “You have to have business skills – the ability, for example, to negotiate with suppliers and broadcasters. That’s not to mention winning the trust of top players. “But you also need to love the product, to be enthused by tennis and the desire to provide it in ways that combine the unique traditions of Wimbledon with innovation.
Soul Food and Intrigue in the City of Light

Martin’s Minotaur, $24. 95), Jake Lamar uses his American-in-Paris knowledge to spin a tale centered on lusty African-American expatriate Marva Dobbs. In a city that prides itself on its home-grown cuisine, this exotic transplant has done the impossible. As proprietor of Marva’s Soul Food Kitchen, she has taken Paris by storm with her culinary artistry. Though over 60, she has a way of making men hunger for her, too, including not just her French husband but also a sous-chef named Hassan who is more than three decades her junior. Hassan adds zip to Marva’s menus with Middle Eastern flavors, while he nearly undoes a marriage that has seen affairs aplenty on both sides.

The presidential and parliamentary electionsin July will be the first moment of self-determination for most Congolese; the last multiparty election was in 1965. Congo was ruled for 32 years by Mobutu Sese Seko, who named it Zaire and held the country hostage by his rapacious and iron-fisted rule. Since Mobuto was deposed in 1997, the nation, renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has been caught in the murderous grip of rival militias, both home grown and backed by neighboring countries. The war has officially been over since a peace agreement between the factions was signed four years ago, but the transition to peace has yet to come. Fighting has continued intermittently in the confusing and complicated conflict, which began when Rwanda and Uganda backed a rebel movement to overthrow Mobutu, who died in Morocco in 1997. The war spun out of control when that rebel movement turned against its foreign backers. The election is meant to draw a line between that chaotic past and a more hopeful future.
