...plan executed urgently, midfielder Tuncay Sanli leading the charge and Nihat Kahveci providing the rescuing goals. Perhaps too urgent, as the Turks had four players suspended for their semi-final with Germany. But that is a lesson of experience they will learn. Turkey's last-gasp comeback in the cloudburst that was Basel was the game of the tournament - until its even more insane win over the Czech Republic, and its you've-got-to-be-kidding-me last-second draw with Croatia. The semis was a just reward for their "why not win?" attitude. Give us more of that...
...What no one expected was that Turkey would deliver the biggest emotional wallops in the first round. First, the Turks punctured the hopes of co-host Switzerland with Arda Turan's injury time dagger during a cloudburst in Basel. Then, in an epic 15 minutes against the Czech Republic, Turkey mounted a comeback that will talked about from Akhiser to Van for as long as a football is being kicked there.

"Between 1988 and 1993, the average number of patient bed days dropped from...
Perot's move and the debate deal prompted a cloudburst of speculation about how they would affect the race. In fact, a plausible scenario could be made for just about any result other than a Perot victory. Never before in the media age has an independent candidate had the money to match the major-party candidates in broadcast advertising. Never before have there been three televised debates so close together. The impact of these firsts cannot yet be calibrated. Together, however, they just might serve to focus attention on important issues, like the economy, rather than on the incessant assaults...
