...months (as my colleagues whom I've been buttonholing with questions can attest), I found the coverage of the credit situation and its possible effects on the rest of the economy to be frustratingly vague and Wall Street-centric. I felt like I should know what was going on, and I didn't. Just what exactly were we facing, and who could be hit in what...
...rush. I executed the prior three principles to a tee (although the cop presence was very low), and ran out, arms extended, smiling, jumping, and laughing to my heart’s content. But there was one thing missing: my finishing move. I was inspired, as past readers will attest to, by WWE Wrestling and, that’s right, D Generation X. The squad’s trademark: one arm pointed up, the second arm pointed up, the two come down in an X, and you say it: SUCK IT! Oh, I let those Knights know: they were done...
...England patriots fans will attest, the scariest letters in sports are ACL--as in an anterior cruciate ligament tear, probably the knee injury that ended quarterback Tom Brady's season on Sept. 7. But thanks to the marvels of modern sports medicine, the Pats' superstar should be dissecting defenses again in 2009. Ever since surgeon Frank Jobe revolutionized baseball in the 1970s with the pioneering elbow-repair technique now known as Tommy John surgery, doctors have been developing innovative ways to treat sports injuries.

Moscow's intentions were never secret. I can attest to that firsthand. During Tajikistan's civil war in the early 1990s, I was assigned to the embassy in Dushanbe and was evacuated out of the country by Russia's 201st Motorized Rifle Division. The Russian officers who commanded the unit were proud that the Red Army had held together through the breakup of the Soviet Union and was called to come to the aid of a superpower like the United States. They had no inkling that Washington would ignore the facts on the ground and deny Russia's true influence...
...earth's atmosphere--and, therefore, how our climate might change in the future--some ice-core scientists in the Arctic are training their eyes directly downward. It's an incredibly important job. It's also, as the participants in the North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling (NEEM) project will attest, incredibly fun. Where else can you snowmobile all day across Olympic-quality piste, make modern art out of 200-year-old ice crystals and relax at "night" (the sun never sets during the arctic summer) with copious amounts of Carlsberg beer delivered by the U.S. Air Force? Oh, and in your...
