The initiative, which is led by the private group Missing Children Argentina under the #ParedesQueBus- can, or #WallsThatSearch, slogan, is supported by a growing number of urban artists who hope their work helps the search become more visible.

PRO TENNIS Up-and-comers will try to announce arrival at French Open

BY HOWARD FENDRICH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS — It's an oft-cited and oft-up- dated stat in men's tennis: The so- called Big 4 — Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Mur- ray — have won 47 of the past 52 Grand Slam titles, a run of dominance that began in 2005. Add in Stan Wawrinka to make it a Big 5, and the number becomes 50 of 52. And the frequently repeated accom- panying questions are: How much lon- ger can these guys continue to domi- nate the sport? When will a youngster — or several — step up? Maybe the French Open, which starts Sunday, will offer some insight. "It's going to change at some point. But it does seem like the more you say it's going to change, Rafa and Roger are like, 'Nope, I'm still around,'" said 1989 French Open champion Michael Chang, who coaches 19th-seeded Kei Nishikori. "There will be a transition. And it's starting to happen. But when is it going to be a complete transition? It's hard to say." The members of the elite are all past 30, which used to be an age that general- ly signaled the end of a player's prime. Federer, now 36, has won a record- equaling four Grand Slam titles since THE ASSOCIATED PRESS leaving his 20s, and Nadal, whose 32nd Rafael Nadal is part of the Big 4 along with Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray in men’s tennis that has won 47 of the birthday is in a week, and Wawrinka, past 52 Grand Slam events.

They grew up during the Great Depression when life on the farm was tough. Hunting and fishing helped put food on the table. There wasn’t any such thing as “catch- and-release” fishing back then. They kept every fish that was big enough to eat. My brothers and I were raised the same way. I’ve never thrown back a fish unless it was a little one.
