...Eli’s court to give the Crimson a lead it would not relinquish. Aided by five McKinley kills, Harvard jumped out to an early lead in the fifth and final frame, 10-6.

...always been suspicious of McCain. But ever since she joined the ticket in late August, the Alaska governor's various religious affiliations have caused headaches.

...Senator Jim Webb—the swaggering, foul-mouthed, warrior-author and recent convert from Reaganite to renegade Democrat—is widely popular among the heavy-drinking, heavy-praying Scots-Irish who populate the southwestern hill country.

And a Harvard-educated, cerebral crypto-Muslim is a much harder sell, especially one with an ethnically dubious name...
...your article incorrectly stated that regeneration recovers heat from braking. Regenerative braking converts the kinetic energy of the moving car directly into electricity using a generator. The energy is never heat in the process. The brakes work the same way a power turbine does when it converts the kinetic energy of moving water into electricity at Hoover Dam. Normal car brakes do convert kinetic energy into heat. And hybrid cars do have a set of normal brakes for use when necessary. But the heat created that way is dispersed into the atmosphere, not converted into electricity. Dexter Ford, manhattan beach...
