The red clay of Roland Garros isn’t impressed with raw power. It rewards stamina, agility and the resolve to hit ball after ball until an opponent either wilts or short-circuits in sheer frustration. None of these qualities has made Serena Williams the most dominant player in women’s tennis over the last decade. But on the eve of the 2012 French Open , the 30-year-old Williams looks the favorite to win her 14th Grand Slam title on a surface that has never played to her strengths. Read full article > >

The American grenade that nearly killed 10-year-old Shah Mohammed landed on an unmarked firing range in a scrubby desert, in the shadow of the largest U.S. military base in the country. Like hundreds of other U.S. explosives fired here, it was supposed to detonate on impact. Like hundreds of others, it didn’t. Read full article > >

With a near-flawless docking on Friday, start-up rocket company SpaceX achieved what only big governments have to date: It launched a mission to the international space station . The moment marked a pivot point in U.S. space ambitions, away from total NASA control and toward creative private enterprise. While NASA furnished seed money and technical advice, SpaceX engineers designed, built, launched and drove the white gumdrop-shaped Dragon capsule until the final moments. Read full article > >

IN RECENT weeks the Obama administration has radiated optimism about the possibility of a deal with Iran on its nuclear program. The latest round of talks in Baghdad this week should lower those expectations. Tehran’s negotiators rejected a package offered by the United States and its five partners covering proposed confidence-building measures, and it demanded recognition of an Iranian “right” to enrich uranium, a concession U.S. officials say they are unprepared to make. The only substantive agreement was on holding another meeting next month in Moscow. Read full article > >

China has turned to the World Trade Organization to help block U.S. tariffs on 22 types of Chinese products, including solar panels, pipes for oil wells, coated paper and steel wheel hubs. The Chinese appeal to the WTO takes aim at the U.S. Commerce Department, which has recently imposed stiff duties on Chinese products. The department has cited Chinese subsidies, especially those funneled through state-owned enterprises, that it says give Chinese firms an edge over American competitors. Read full article > >

In one of his characteristic conniptions about people who frustrated him, Theodore Roosevelt, progressivism’s first president, said of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, “I could carve out of a banana a judge with more backbone than that.” TR was as mistaken about Holmes’s spine as are various progressives today about Chief Justice John Roberts’s.

It takes two meetings, and much of a day, for editors and reporters to prepare the next day’s front page of the printed Post.

LOMA LA LATA, Argentina — In a desert-like stretch of scrub grass and red buttes, oil companies are punching holes in the ground in search of what might be one of the biggest recent discoveries in the Americas: enough gas and oil to make a country known for beef and the tango an important energy player.

“No matter what else is served at a cocktail party, you will always find a tray of stuffed eggs,” wrote James Beard, the so-called dean of American gastronomy, in his first cookbook, Hors D'oeuvre And Canapes . The well-received appeal of these one-bite appetizers isn't limited to cocktail hour. They're also a superb addition to picnics and cookouts during the lazy, hazy days of summer. Deviled Eggs (follow the process in the gallery above) Recipe courtesy Sarah Simmons, the c hef and curator of City Grit Ingredients 6 eggs 2 tablespoons mayonnaise ( preferably homemade or Duke's ) 5 drops champagne vinegar 5 drops milk 2 pinches ground sumac Salt to taste Sriracha flakes, for garnish (recipe below) Cooking Directions Place eggs in a large pot and then add enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch. Turn to medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water reaches a boil, immediately remove the pot from the heat and cover with a lid for 11 minutes. Rinse eggs in cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Peel eggs and set aside. (Eggs are easier to peel if they are warm) Using a sharp knife, cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and mash them in a medium mixing bowl with a fork. Add mayonnaise, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Add the vinegar and milk. Whisk until smooth. (If you'd like a creamier egg, whisk in more milk until you've reached your desired consistency.) Add the sumac and stir with fork until combined well. Season to taste with salt Using a pastry bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off, pipe the mixture into the egg whites. (If you don't feel like piping, you can spoon the mixture into the egg whites.) Top with sriracha flakes. For the sriracha flakes : Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Using an offset spatula, spread 1/2 cup of sriracha on a Silpat- or parchment-lined baking sheet. Put in the oven and dehydrate for an hour. Remove from oven and put in a dry spot to cool. Once cool, break up the dehydrated sriracha into flakes.

When Rick Nielsen talks about his home town in northern Illinois, you might expect him to riff on one of his rock band’s hits. Maybe “I want you to want Rockford.” Or “Surrender, surrender . . . to Rockford.” The Cheap Trick guitarist and songwriter could even economize and simply invoke the group’s 2006 album, “ Rockford .” Read full article > >

Roger Goodell is winning. He hasn’t met a player or an issue he couldn’t beat with a superior gaze. You have to admit that he is a success as NFL commissioner, if the definition of success is exercising control over 1,700 athletes and 32 owners without ever removing your suit coat, or showing a bead of sweat on your condescending forehead.
