After an early interception, O’Hagan’s decision making appeared nearly flawless. He found Mazza for a 22-yard touchdown strike for his first collegiate touchdown pass in the first quarter...
That and maybe he wanted to find himself surrounded, as I was now, by flocks of Lacoste-wearing, Ferrari-driving couples and their children, all with flawless manicures, tans, and honey-colored Fendi bags to match. Somehow my destroyed Abercrombie miniskirt and Havaiana flip-flops seemed out of place. My thoughts were confirmed when, upon climbing to the palace, I was greeted with a large road sign adorned with a giant red X.

...year after settling a long-running U.S. antitrust suit, De Beers has opened its first American retail business in New York City. Last month some 1,500 customers thronged to the unveiling, which featured the Millennium Star, one of the world's largest flawless diamonds, weighing 203 carats.

...first non-Italian pope in 455 years, won over many hearts the very first evening he spoke to the Piazza: "I will speak in your, OUR language," he toned to the faithful below. "And when I make a mistake, you will correct me!" Ratzinger already speaks flawless Italian (as well as half-a-dozen other languages), and may have won over some with his moving homily at John Paul's funeral 10 days ago. This evening, he actually stumbled over a few words in his first greeting as Pope, but Romans got to see the widest smile ever seen from...
