...Case, 43, and CEO Jerry Levin, 62, have shown a unity of purpose at odds with the B-school case studies. It helps that they share a vision: subscriptions. Add up AOL, cable TV and magazines, and they have 137 million people mailing in payments. This year the duo clung for too long to profit promises they couldn't keep. But as they direct Warner Bros., CNN and the Time Inc. magazines, Case and Levin wield unrivaled influence on global culture...
After missing two free throws while the Crimson clung to a two-point lead late in the fourth quarter, Gellert swooped in from the foul line to collect his own rebound. Falling out of bounds, Gellert tossed a desperate pass behind his back and into the arms of junior Pat Harvey. Harvey nailed the open three-pointer to seal a 68-61 win for the Crimson at Lavietes Pavilion...

In the beginning, Bush took the G.O.P.-controlled House for granted and focused his attention on the troublesome, evenly split Senate, where his party clung to power by dint of Dick Cheney's tie-breaking vote. But once Democrats took control of the upper chamber, Bush needed Hastert to pass bills as close to the President's liking as possible so he could have maximum bargaining room when the Senate and House meet in conference...
