PARIS (AP) — Roger Federer's tough season is ending on a high, the Swiss star beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-1, 7-6 (3) on Sunday to win his first Paris Masters and 69th title of a glittering career.

Last February, the high court ruled that itis wrong for the …
Forging a new policy toward Africa
Africa, and Africans, will indeed have a critical role to play in post-Clinton America and in fact, in the world itself. That reality was intently brought home this week, when during the orientation tour he took of the State Department that he now heads, Secretary of State Colin Powell tipped his hand on department priorities by making the Africa Bureau his first stop.
Africa holds much promise for the world -- if that promise can be properly mined -- tapping the best of its population and human potential, lessons on how to build a multiracial society and its massive natural resources that can benefit not just Africans, but the world at …
