Gore searched twice during Wisconsin trip

Although their parents have charged that tennis still has remnants of its racist past, the Williams sisters are changing the sport with their aggressive play, colorful dress, flamboyant hairstyles and the loud grunts, groans and shrieks they cut loose when the going gets tough on the tennis court.
