...Scene two unfolded seven weeks later, approaching midnight on a Saturday in November, when Mitchell filed into a room in the bowels of Sydney's Telstra Stadium to face the world's media. In a boilover, his side had just lost its semi-final against Australia. Mitchell's black blazer highlighted the absence of color in his face. With dignity, he answered every question, some of them insulting like, "Did you have a game plan tonight?" But he looked and sounded like a man who'd just foreseen the end of the world. Within a month, the New Zealand Rugby...
...people up. This was not a group that was going to pick Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. So I had a moment of panic when Xzibit, the first to read from his list, named Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Canada is an odd locale for seersucker suits, and even after attending high school there, I have yet to see any of it worn...
...bash must think so. The co-president of the Revolution, Sarah M. Kinsella ’07, moved earnestly around the Tonkens Room in Winthrop House. Her classic pearl earrings matched the string of pearls around her neck, off-setting a casual outfit of jeans and a burgundy corduroy blazer. She smiled warmly, apologizing for having an ice cream social on such a cold day. “We planned this so long ago, it seemed like a good idea,” Kinsella said. Attendees extended warm welcomes to strangers, and kept the conversation light, asking the usual trifecta...
