...pass to halt an Ohio State drive and preserve a 17-15 victory. On the play, Bauman was forced out of bounds right in front of Woody. Bauman did not taunt the old coach, as some accounts had it. He did not have to. For Hayes, losing was goad enough. He swung his hefty right forearm at Bauman's throat, then beat on the face mask of one of his own players who tried to restrain...
...intricate set of rules, some codified by lawyers and some worked out anew by each pair of partners in the unmating dance. Koerner's ex-wife sends their children to visit him in tattered sneakers and no raincoats, for instance, correctly assuming that his fatherly guilt will goad him to provide what is lacking.

Critics do see a threatened U.S. withdrawal as a prod for necessary reform, the only measure that will goad the organization into getting off its political soapbox. There is a dispute only about when to act. Officials at the State Department and National Security Council want to continue the threat for another year; the Labor Department wants to pull out now. Anti-U.S. rhetoric at I.L.O. annual meetings...
