...brewing the U.S. had gone up 1-0?excuse us, one-nil?on the stylish Europeans. And the Yanks kept lighting up Portugal like a pachinko table: 2-0 in the 29th minute and 3-0 in the 36th on a beautifully taken header by Brian McBride. Despite a furious Portuguese rally, the U.S. held on to a 3-2 victory for one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history...
...Gazprom, the oil and natural gas monopoly, helped a group of hackers seize for several hours the corporation's computer systems - including those regulating gas flow through the firm's pipelines.

And Bush Administration officials have privately said they are furious with New York officials. "There are some things the general public has to know, and quite frankly, there are some things they don't have to know," says an Administration official. Citizens can do very little about unconfirmed, nonspecific threats--and there are too many to count.
