...contract to the foreign firm. (The Airbus team claims its deal will support 25,000 U.S. jobs, but Boeing says it would have created more.) Underscoring the sensitivity of the topic on Capitol Hill, a top Air Force official addressing a House hearing on Wednesday referred to the winning bid using only the name of its American partner. "Northrop Grumman brought their A-game" to the competition, said Air Force procurement chief Sue Payton. Critics were unimpressed: "Northrop's a front," countered Rep. Dave Hobson, R-Ohio...
...hint of clean-cut, Princeton guilelessness about him, but there's also something behind those eyes that's constantly assessing." Different they may be, but Murdoch, 36, and Packer, 40, are friends and once again a team. They've joined forces to launch a $3.06 billion takeover bid for Consolidated Media Holdings (CMH), which owns a catalog of blue-chip Australian media assets, from free-to-air and cable television to digital and magazine interests...

"It was Michelle, Barack, myself and maybe two or three others," she says. "All of us came in lockstep to convince him not to run. For all of our arguments, he had a [counter] argument ... and by the end of brunch, he'd convinced...
...Panzer for his tank-like drive. His 2005 election to a five-year term as OAS chief gained him Latin street cred, because he was the first candidate in the history of the organization elected without U.S. backing. (The U.S. eventually accepted him as Secretary General after dropping its bid to seat a more conservative Mexican nominee.) Insulza gained further credibility as an impartial broker last year when Chavez, widely regarded as the force that got Insulza elected, angrily declared him "a true idiot" and "a viceroy of the [U.S.] empire" for warning the Venezuelan leader not to encroach...
