Perspective: Security checks are missing the point
WASHINGTON -- Six percent of British Muslims -- more than 100,000 citizens -- thought the July 7 London terror attacks were justified. A quarter of British Muslims merely sympathize with the bombers. Even more shocking, nearly one-fifth of British Muslims say they feel little or no loyalty to Britain. Yet the most disturbing news from the July 23 London Telegraph poll is that these trends are worse among younger British Muslims.

Perspective: Politics today: Iraq withdrawal or not?
WASHINGTON -- Bogged down in the Vietnam war, President Lyndon B. Johnson in May 1964 got some advice from one of his closest Senate allies, Democratic Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia. According to the LBJ White House tapes, Russell told Johnson he should "get some fellow in there (Saigon) that said he wished to hell we would get out. That would give us a good excuse for getting out."

Editor: Remember Victor Hugo's "Les Misrables" novel (pauper's life sentence for stealing one loaf of bread)?

Letter: It's the same ole rhetoric from the left

Letter: Let's stamp out 'drug prohibition'
Editor: The feds are not serious about stamping out marijuana. Their object lesson is Mabel Walker Willibrandt, the Assistant Attorney General of the U.S., whose primary job was the enforcement of National Prohibition (of alcohol) from 1921 to 1928.

Perspective:John Roberts' records
AUSTIN, Texas -- Sheesh, all I knew about John Roberts was that everyone says he has lovely manners -- and already I was prepared to be against him. Knee-jerk liberal? No, congratulations to the White House, Sen. John Cornyn, Fred Thompson and everyone else involved in "managing" Roberts' confirmation process. Can't these people do anything without being devious about it?

Vijay reigns supreme at Buick
GRAND BLANC, Mich. -- Tiger Woods rolled in a long birdie putt and cupped his left ear to coax a louder reaction from one of the tour's rowdiest galleries.

Agassi out; Roddick eager to tune up for U.S. Open
WASHINGTON -- For Andy Roddick, the various stops on the summer hard-court circuit are the means to an end, a chance to do what's needed to get ready for the U.S. Open. What Andre Agassi's 35-year-old back needs right now is some rest, so he's skipping this week's Legg Mason Tennis Classic. Agassi withdrew Monday, hours before play began at the $600,000 tournament where Roddick is seeded No. 1.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Wade Boggs cried. Ryne Sandberg simply was Ryno -- smooth as silk.

Gators, Hurricanes close to renewing series
GAINESVILLE -- After playing four times in the last five years, Florida and Miami could meet just twice in the next nine seasons.

Summer Swing: Marsh Landing Country Club, No. 12
What it's like on the box: You have what is almost an island tee box, which is easier than an island green. The water here is mostly for decoration unless you're a very short hitter with a slice. You seem to have a pretty fair slot to hit down the fairway.
