...what does Yale expect to gain by replacing Siedlecki? The question looms larger when you consider that Siedlecki took over a program in terrible shape in 1997.

Two years later, Siedlecki led the Bulldogs to a win over Harvard that locked up an Ivy title and a 9-1 season.

"This is all because of one man, Thaksin Shinawatra," he said, as a yellow-hued sea of protesters armed with plastic hand-clappers milled around near him. "[Thaksin is] a selfish criminal who is willing to destroy the country for his own personal gain. I'm really worried that violence will increase and the country will be in a civil war." Then, in a marked change of tone, Puchong apologized for the siege that had stranded thousands of tourists in an airport whose Thai name, Suvarnabhumi, or "golden land," seemed particularly inappropriate at that...
