James Brown knew all along that he wanted to open a museum to inspire people _ especially the poor _ to pursue their dreams. So he carefully saved all his belongings, from glittering suits and glossy shoes to the comb he used to neatly sculpt his hair.

"I'm going to make a James Brown museum because I want people to know that a young kid really has a chance to make it. And the only way they have a chance to make it is if he has somebody around to look …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- If he is used to anything in his young WhiteSox career, Mark Buehrle should be used to hard luck.
The Sox left-hander, who endured a nine-game losing streak lastseason that was due in part to a lack of run support, was on theshort end again Monday after the Kansas City Royals rallied for a 9-7 victory.
This time, he had enough runs for a victory -- it was his fellowpitchers who let it get away. Yet in the early going, Buehrle figuredluck finally was on his side.
"I really didn't think I had that good of stuff," Buehrle said. "Ifell behind in the count a lot. If I have this outing the next timeout, it's not going to go as well as it did. I …

Demanding that she apologize, the GOP - from the White House on down - made it clear that they felt her comments were out of bounds.
As usual, Black politicians didn't waste any time rushing to Clinton's defense. Maybe this desperate bid to curry favor with the presumptive 2008 Democratic presidential nominee is needed, but frankly, enough with another Democrat talking tough to the brothers and sisters, yet remaining quiet before her white …
Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards took his third-place New Hampshire finish in stride, pledging to carry his battle forward despite difficult odds. "I am in this race until the convention," he told supporters.
Edwards had campaigned on a message of ridding Washington of special-interest corruption, and he made clear that despite finishing well behind his two main rivals he would not change course as the race heads toward "Super Tuesday" next month.
"I am in this race until we have actually restored the American dream and strengthened and restored the middle class in America," he said.
Edwards had 17 percent …
