...quest to become the great American car company and would follow its conquest of virtually every other market segment, from compact cars to luxury SUVs (by way of Lexus). Indeed, the Tundra was considered so important that Toyota's entire executive design-approval committee, more than 30 members, flew to the U.S. to sign off on the final design...
Asif Ali Zardari faced a nasty homecoming when he flew from Dubai to Lahore last Saturday. More than 13,000 policemen cordoned off the airport and Lahore's main crossroads to keep thousands from welcoming the husband of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Zardari had barely unfastened his seat belt when police boarded the aircraft and hauled him away in an armed motorcade to his residence.

...reasoning if a shadow of bigotry didn't attach to many of her statements about Arabs and Muslims. At the reception after her CPAC speech, she mocked some of the more ornate claims of torture from suspected terrorists detained by the U.S.: "It's completely insane stuff.

...confidence. This means further than anyone else. He is frequently "cobbing" his engine, flying "balls to the wall," and coming close to "augering in." As an Air Force test pilot on captain's pay, he took the same risks as his high-salaried civilian counterparts. He resented those who flew for the money and was riled by flyers he felt did not listen to an experienced country boy. Scott Crossfield "just knew it all, which is why he ran a Super Sabre through a hangar." Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon and "the last guy at Edwards...
