...Harvard baseball team needed to take three of four from Dartmouth in the season’s final weekend to earn at least a playoff for the division title. With one in the bag, Trey Hendricks on the mound and a three-run lead heading into the ninth, a doubleheader sweep seemed all but certain. Moments later, Shirrell was rounding the bases after smacking the second of two three-run homers to put the Big Green up 13-10. Again, that would be bad enough...
...world's longest mustache? Who was the world's most productive mother? No standard reference book troubles with such trivia, but an offbeat guide called the Guinness Book of Records answers such questions with gusto ... [It is] the world's greatest grab bag of mosts, leasts, longests, shortests, fastests and slowests ... Chosen to compile the book were Norris and Ross McWhirter ... [They] comb thousands of journals to keep their superlatives up to date, correspond with authorities in 110 countries, scan heaps of musty books to track down obscure points ... And when all else fails, they turn to an army...
...show a G.I. preparing to sodomize a male detainee. A still shot portrays an anguished female prisoner lifting her shirt to expose her breasts. Another photo zeroes in on the face and torso of a detainee smeared with what appear to be feces.

And a host of pictures show the now familiar culprits engaged in raunchy sex acts with one another--convincing some legislators that this...
...last week, when the FBI took former Army officer and Muslim convert Brandon Mayfield, 37, into custody on a material witness warrant. So far, 18 people have been charged in the attacks, which are being blamed on a Morocco-based cell of Muslim extremists. In March, a plastic shopping bag containing detonators like those used in the attacks was discovered inside a stolen white van near a suburban Madrid train station, U.S. and Spanish officials said. When a fingerprint on the bag appeared to match Mayfield's--the first U.S. link in the case--the FBI began covert surveillance...
Though Mayfield was not charged with a crime, the father of three was jailed last week when authorities grew concerned that information was being leaked to the media. It is possible, U.S. officials say, that Mayfield's print ended up on the bag innocently. A lawyer who prays regularly at a Beaverton, Ore., mosque, Mayfield may have used the bag to send something to a contact in the U.S. or abroad. "The case is exceedingly flimsy," says Mayfield's lawyer Tom Nelson, adding that his client hasn't left the U.S. since...
