...Suetsugu, who was beaten in the semifinals of the 200-m race at Sydney four years ago, has come a long way in honing his nanba technique. First introduced to him by coach Susumu Takano (whose 1991 Japanese record in the 400-m still stands), Suetsugu's sumo-like stance in the starting block and stunning stride have become his trademarks. Favored by ancient Japanese assassins and swordsmen for minimizing stress on the body, nanba requires practitioners to run with the hand and foot on one side of the body moving in sync. (In normal locomotion, people swing the right...
...Asia, LG has taken on the world's best and proved it can hold its own. In China and India, LG has become a preferred brand. In China, which Kim calls the "toughest marketplace in the world," sales last year rose 40%, to $2.8 billion. In India, LG has beaten out Sony and Samsung to claim the No. 1 market share in everything from TV sets to refrigerators to CDMA phones.

...ensuring that the opposing midfielders get little possession. And gone is that best-form-of-defense-is-attack sensibility of their forebears who always looked like they were having as much fun as a bunch of guys playing on the beach.

Climbing Kilimanjaro cold is more or less what Edwards has done this year, turning a long-shot bid for the White House into a spot on the Democratic ticket. Win or lose this fall, Edwards in many ways has already won: he has beaten the odds and, at 51, will almost certainly take his place as a leading figure in the Democratic Party for years to come. His out-of-nowhere performance this year would not surprise those who have known him since he scraped his way out of Robbins, N.C., the mill town he talks about at every stop...
When Afghan authorities raided the house of a former Green Beret named Jonathan (Jack) Idema in Kabul last week, they were startled to find a makeshift prison. Inside were three Afghan prisoners hanging from their feet. Five more men were locked up and badly beaten. Another example of prison abuse by U.S. forces? No, this do-it-yourself Abu Ghraib was a private jail being run by Idema and two other Americans who, along with several Afghan helpers, appear to have set themselves up as antiterrorist bounty hunters. "They pretended they were fighting terrorism," said Interior Minister Ali Ahmad Jalali...
