AMONG this summer's Olympics
and jubilees, Britons will celebrate
the last time a British army
actually won a war, 30 years ago
on the Falklands. That is appropriate.
But they are unlikely to read how
it was really won. As in so many conflicts,
victory lay ...
STOP, hey, what's that sound?
Actually, it's the noise a great
political party makes when it
loses what's left of its mind.
And it happened - where else? - on
Fox News, when Mitt Romney
bought fully into the claim that gas
prices are high thanks to an Obama
administration plot ...
THE gymnastic teams have started

TIGER Woods snapped the
longest winless drought of his
career with a dominating fiveshot
victory over Graeme
McDowell at the PGA Tour´s
Arnold Palmer Invitational on
Sunday. It marked the first PGA
Tour victory for Woods in 30
months, ending a winless spell
that coincided with the personal
turmoil that followed a 2009 sex
scandal. "It´s not like winning a
major championship or anything,"
Woods said. "But it certainly
feels really good."
Woods drained a short par putt
on the par-four 18 to complete his
round of two-under 70 and post a
13-under 275 total at the Bay Hill
Club and Lodge course.
"It was just pure joy," Woods
said. The 14-time major winner ...

Jayawardene crafted a classy
century to steer Sri Lanka out
of trouble on the opening day
of the first Test against
England in Galle on Monday.
Jayawardene hit an unbeaten
168 as the hosts recovered
from a disastrous 15-3 by the
fourth over to move to 289-8
by stumps at a Galle
International Stadium
packed with some 8,000
English supporters.
Fast bowler James
Anderson claimed two wickets
off successive balls in his
second over and new-ball
partner Stuart Broad chipped
in with the third after Sri
Lanka won the toss and elected
to bat.

situation by adding 52 for the
fourth wicket with Thilan
Samaraweera (20) and ...

APOEL hopes to defy the
odds against Spanish giants
Real Madrid in Tuesday´s
Champions League clash to
prove the romance of the cup
is still alive.
Although APOEL versus
Real is not a traditional glamour
tie, it does sum up the
David-and-Goliath essence of
cup competitions where the
unexpected can happen.
For so long the competition
has been criticised for its
domination of Europe´s elite
and wealthy but the Cypriot
champions, who were formed
in a sweet shop 85 years ago,
are now bucking the trend.
"We will respect Real
Madrid and make a huge
effort to match them on the
pitch. We are all waiting to
face the best team in the
