Manu's Heroic Act

 San Antonio’s huge lead was almost gone, Miami’s building was roaring and the Heat were clicking better than they had at any point all night. With one shot, Manu Ginobili changed everything. Ginobili scored 22 points, none bigger than a tide-turning 3-pointer with 7:58 left, and the surging Spurs wasted most of a 25-point, third-quarter lead before beating the Heat 88-76 on Tuesday night, San Antonio’s eighth win in its last nine games. “He makes everybody better,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said of Ginobili, who’s shot at least...

China's fledgling Web outfits would face less pressure to improve, eroding their ability to one day compete abroad. Chinese news reports say Google Inc. is on the verge of making good on a threat to shutter its China site, Google.cn, because Beijing forces the Internet giant to censor search results. The reports indicated that Google had, in fact, already...
