...prize. Burricks is part of Team Shosholoza, a young, racially diverse South African crew defying the odds by taking on sailing's biggest names and deepest pockets - and scoring impressive victories. "So many sailors dream about being part of an America's Cup team," says Burricks. "I didn't expect myself to come this far." In the rarefied world of the America's Cup, genuine underdogs don't come along very often. Only once has the Cup ever been won by a first-time challenger. That happened in 2003, when the Swiss Team Alinghi defeated Team New Zealand in Auckland...
Snow, 50, will replace don't-stray-from-the-message spokesman Scott McClellan as part of Bolten's staff shake-up.

...Prosecutors expect to wrap up their cross-examination of Lay by Monday. In the second day of cross-examination, Hueston emphasized that while Lay was encouraging employees to take advantage of Enron's bargain stock price in fall 2001, Lay himself was selling stock. The shares Lay bought in the fall were publicly reported. But since he sold stock back to the company, the sales did not have to be reported until year-end - after Enron was bankrupt.
