Mazzoleni fumed once more before the goal was scored. On a faceoff to the right of Grumet-Morris, Mazzoleni wanted to get junior Tom Cavanagh—the team’s most reliable draw man—onto the ice. But referee Peter Torgerson ruled Cavanagh came on too late (Cavanagh later said that was the correct call) and sent him back to the bench. Mazzoleni raged. The call stood...
...Hefner at 77, Playboy at 50: both are aging rou?s, the kind Dedini used to draw in his cartoons. The iconic bunny (a rabbit in an ascot) is today as much an anachronism as the New Yorker?s Eustace Tilley (a fop with a monocle). Or as Hefner, in his silk pajamas and red smoking jacket, when billionaires wear T shirts. Hef, with his interchangeable sex partners (two are twins) and his trademark pipe traded in for Diet Pepsi and Viagra, has become what we are all in danger of morphing into as we grow old: parodies of our younger...

They cruise the streets and make themselves targets in order to flush insurgents into the open...
...trying something different," Van Engelen tells the Tomb Raiders as they gather around a gray satellite map of Adhamiya, preparing for their first patrol since the grenade attack. "So far our footprint has been big. This has gotten us into trouble." Van Engelen believes that the platoon will draw less attention without the humvees.

Van Engelen wants the soldiers to walk in a cigar-shaped formation, rather than the typical...
China's detractors still have powerful weapons at their disposal. Before agreeing to allow China into the World Trade Organization, Washington negotiated a deal giving it broad powers to block Chinese products that "surge" into the market--no proof of dumping or other wrongdoing required. As elections draw near, pressure to use those powers could come from people like Doug Bartlett. His father started Bartlett Manufacturing, a circuit-board maker in Cary, Ill., in 1952. By 2000, the family business had $22 million in sales and employed 180 people...
