...received Weldon's support for their products. Sestak is 54 and looks younger; Weldon is 59 and seems older. There is a last-hurrah quality to his campaign: Weldon has held the congressional seat for 20 years and has never had a tough race, but the district has trended blue in the latest presidential elections; John Kerry beat George W. Bush 51% to 48% here in 2004. As he traveled from event to event on a recent Sunday, Weldon seemed nervous and slightly desperate.

...central suspect in the Iraq war's most notorious massacre, at Haditha, where 24 Iraqis were killed by U.S. Marines--Marines led by Wuterich.

"It was more fighting for survival at IBM," says Fran O'Sullivan, now a senior vice president at Lenovo. "We didn't talk about growing." After the acquisition, "there was a real entrepreneurial feel again." There were other benefits too: Lenovo got the rights to use the IBM brand name for five years and snatched the premier Think family of computers. ThinkPad notebooks boast some of the best technology...
