...November lost a triple-overtime game to Harvard, 87-85, after Lin hit a running three-pointer at the buzzer. "He's a special player who seems to have a special passion for the game. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the NBA one day." (See Dick Vitale's top 10 NCAA moments...
...Canadian entrepreneur who had briefly worked at a Chicago theater, to run it. The new venue "struggled for a while" as he remembers, but soon the outlook for Second City - and its brand of satiric comedy - changed forever.

Samberg says he has no idea why "I'm on a Boat" is considered legitimate music. "The Grammys didn't give us a reason," he says. "Although having T-Pain...

And it was easy to believe that the U.S. could afford these military adventures, particularly for conservatives like Dick Cheney, who famously declared that "deficits don't matter." Finally, in the wake of communism's collapse and the spread of democracy throughout the developing world, hawks tended to see dictatorships as brittle, devoid of popular support.
