Brown capitalized on Harvard’s Hartigan fixation with a mix of misdirection and play action, which regularly rendered the bulk of the Crimson’s defensive corps out of position to land a tackle on the actual ball carrier or defend a downfield pass. Bears quarterback Joe DiGiacomo passed for 141 yards in the first quarter alone, 83 of them coming on one long touchdown pass over the top of the secondary...
...There was euphoria in the Pentagon. The looting in the streets of Baghdad and the continuing attacks on coalition troops were considered temporary phenomena that would soon subside. On May 1, President George W. Bush announced, "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended," on the deck of an aircraft carrier, near a banner that read MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Shortly thereafter, Franks moved his headquarters from Qatar back to Florida. He was followed there in June by McKiernan, whose Baghdad operation included several hundred intelligence officers who had been keeping track of the situation on the ground. "Allowing McKiernan to leave...
...Finance Minister in Parliament, says Key, "is like playing Andre Agassi at tennis every week. It improves your game enormously.") In a TVNZ studio, during a debate between eight economics spokesmen, Cullen is itching to get involved, like a burly rugby breakaway hoping to crunch a small ball carrier if he would only dare to come his side of the ruck.

...fallout may be fast, especially as Katrina's effects kick in. Delta Air Lines--the nation's third largest airline and AirTran's most powerful rival--may soon declare bankruptcy and cut back flights. Meanwhile, the labor strike at Northwest Airlines, the country's fourth biggest carrier, could drive it over the financial edge too. That would put a total of 5 out of 12 major airlines in bankruptcy (United, US Airways and ATA are already there). The same fate may await Independence Air, a small Virginia-based start-up that has been instrumental in driving fares down over...
AirTran, based in Orlando, Fla., may stand to gain more from the looming industry restructuring, particularly a Delta bankruptcy, than any other carrier. For one thing, AirTran's bread-and-butter routes are in the eastern U.S.--where Delta and others will probably trim the number of flights and raise fares. Says Leonard: "We've been sitting here quietly for the past five years minding our own business and making money, but if three airlines pull down capacity as expected, that will be even better for AirTran...
