1. GOP CONVENTION POISED FOR ANTI-CLIMATIC OPENING
At 2 p.m., Romney’s convention sputters to life with the banging of a gavel in a mostly empty hall, hardly the opening splash intended for the nation. It will recess 10 minutes later because of Tropical Storm Isaac.

AP’s Senior Managing Editor Michael Oreskes explores how nominees use these gatherings to woo less partisan voters who usually decide the election.
5. ONCE AN INNOVATOR, HP LOOKING BEHIND THE TIMES

6. WHAT IRAQIS ARE CHEWING ON
Baghdadis are witnessing a wave of new American-style restaurants, enticing customers hungry for alternatives to traditional foods. And big multinational chains are not the ones driving the fad.
7. WHY AMERICAN TALIBAN SAYS PRISON POLICY IS UNJUST
John Walker Lindh, charged with supporting terrorists, is going to court because he can’t pray with a group each day.
