English football is no stranger to errant behavior, but much of it has traditionally come from fans, rather than players. For decades the game has been dogged by the dark shadow of hooliganism, a plague so closely associated with the game's founding country that it is known as the English disease. (An ugly reminder of that malady came on Jan. 6, when police fought fans after a match between Cardiff City and Leeds United; 12 arrests have thus far ensued.)

The next day he made the deal for "a slow and orderly" transfer of power from the Taliban to a tribal council...
...missile shield would do very little to protect the country from an intangible and amorphous threat. "Our military forces have been designed primarily to fight a conventional war with a conventional enemy, and we've learned the hard way that as much destruction can be caused by an errant airplane as by a powerful bomb," Wexler told the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel in September, just after the attacks...
