Yet this early cold warrior became better known for his later efforts at conciliation, most notably a famous "walk in the woods" near Geneva, Switzerland, in 1982 with his Soviet counterpart in an attempt to break an arms-control deadlock. The agreement they reached failed to win approval, but his efforts paved the way for an arms deal between the U.S. and the Soviets in 1987.

Anders has allowed just nine goals during the 12 games Dartmouth has played this season, good for first in the Ivy League.

According to data compiled in a recent International Monetary Fund working paper, the average Chinese garment-industry worker was paid $1,600 in 2001, more than double his Indian counterpart's salary and four times what he'd make in Bangladesh. Despite the Chinese worker's higher pay, the study found his productivity was significantly higher: he adds $5,000 a year in value to the garments he processes, compared with $2,600 by his Indian equivalent...
