...Chung was quietly engineering a revolution. Revered by the staff as a member of the founding clan, he was able to gather information quickly and impose his will on the organization. After years managing the after-sales service operation, he concluded that quality problems were the crux of the company's ills. Suh Byung Kee, Hyundai's president, recalls Chung bursting into his office five years ago and saying: "Quality is crucial to our survival. We have to get it right no matter what the cost...
...better, the first of his ten seasons with 200 hits or more, a feat unmatched even by Cobb. Last season, throughout major league baseball, only four men accumulated 200 hits. Looking at Rose's and Cobb's distinction the simplest way, all anyone must do to gather 4,191 hits is to come up with 200 a year for 20 years and then get 191 more.

Not only did the state's residents carry guns, persecute environmentalists and gather behind barbed wire in encampments like the one where the notorious Freemen engaged in an armed standoff with federal agents, but Montana's highways had no speed limits. "The place is still in the Stone Age. It's Neanderthal. Personally, I couldn't live there," the fellow said...
...hill, perhaps to meet with some of the 11 voting American cardinals. But a senior U.S. diplomat confirmed for me that there was no lunch served today. Still, just a bit further down the hill is the residence of the Spanish Ambassador - a perfect spot for Ruini to gather the more than two-dozen or so Spanish-speaking electors. I will never know. But in my next dream, he'll be coming to share a panino with...
