After fifth-ranked UCLA dispatched UC Davis, 76-48, on Saturday in front of 10,242 at Pauley Pavilion, Bruins point guard Darren Collison almost broke out of his brace, that one that has acted as both a haven for his sprained left knee and an anvil to be dragged about, taking away his defensive quickness, his instinctive crossover dribble, his ebullient drives. Collison expects to dump that brace at practice Monday, just in time to get ready for the most important part of the season, the upcoming 18 straight games against Pacific 10 Conference teams. "I can hardly wait," said Collison, who had a game-high 14 points to go with four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes .

The head of a small xenophobic political party, Bossi has emerged as Italy's kingmaker, the power player who was key in returning Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to office in recent elections and who will continue to call many of the shots.

Bossi and three other members of his Northern League party were given choice seats in the new Cabinet, including control of the Interior Ministry, which oversees police and most domestic security. In this climate, it came as little surprise that the government's first action has been a harsh police crackdown on the Rom, an oft-targeted minority also known as Gypsies. Bossi and the Northern League are widely seen here as the moving force behind the decision to target Gypsies and illegal immigrants, two groups blamed for a rash of recent crimes . is a unit of Time Warner Inc. --(BEGIN TEXT OF INFOBOX)Box-office resultsEstimated ticket sales for May 16-18 at U.
