Junior co-captain Courtney Bergman and freshman Cindy Chu blanked Columbia’s Kendal Murphy and Molly Condit at number two doubles. Bergman also posted a win over Columbia’s Milena Kachar in the No. 1 singles spot...
...Phil Condit spent his first 30 years at Boeing building iconic American aircraft: the 747, the 757 and the 777. He spent his last seven years as CEO, largely ignoring that business. Instead he steered the company into new areas, chased lucrative U.S. government contracts and moved its headquarters from Seattle to Chicago to be closer to its new clients. Those shifts diluted Boeing's reputation as an aircraftmaker and flung the company deeper into the mysterious, often seamy business of bidding for--competing isn't exactly the right word--government work. And it unraveled Condit himself. With allegations...

...RESIGNED. PHILIP CONDIT, 62, chairman and CEO of U.S. aviation-and-aerospace giant Boeing; following revelations that top executives breached the company's ethics policies to secure Pentagon contracts; in Chicago. A week earlier, two Boeing executives had been fired in connection with the case. Condit's seven-year tenure had weathered several other scandals involving accounting improprieties and corporate espionage...
