...Schneider, 43, knows the area more intimately, having roamed it for 20 years as a mines driller. Even today, he's not regretting his decision, three months ago, to take up trucking: "The money's not as good, but it's easier." In five-hour stints, he'll take the wheel while his companion beds down in the padded cabin bunk. Each knows the other's boundaries.

...knows how long it will be before the world knows precisely what happened along Haditha's Hay al-Sinnai Road on the morning of Nov. 19, when 24 Iraqis, almost all of them unarmed, died during a five-hour encounter with a Marine Corps patrol. The incident, first reported by TIME in March, has sparked two major military investigations--one into the possibility that the Marines deliberately murdered unarmed Iraqis and another into a possible cover-up that followed.

Armed with various forecasting publications, reams of statistics and an unhealthy knowledge of the positional depth charts of all 16 National League franchises, we set about carefully assigning dollar values to every player in the N.L. based upon our projections of their 2006 performance. The goal was to develop an approximate plan of action?...
...thought I’d lend some levity, perhaps inanity—something playful—to the five-hour interrogation that had begun to dribble by with all the speed of a snail. But I stumbled as I jumped to the punch...
