...trash talk. For example, Adidas puts the boot to Nike's worldwide youth "futsal" tournament, which features the smaller soccer ball that many great players, like Ronaldinho, grew up dribbling. "It's three on three in a cage," says Filbry. "That's not soccer." Edwards, Nike's marketing guru, guffaws. "I'm happy they would dismiss something that millions of people around the world are playing," he says. On the eve of the World Cup, jawing between the world's top players has begun. May the best brand win. Adidas vs. Nike...
What could the Dalai Lama and George Clooney possibly have in common? It turns out that the spiritual guru and the “Ocean’s Eleven” heartthrob are teaming up to advocate an initiative called Film Your Issue, a competition in which young people create films about world issues such as poverty and AIDS. Film Your Issue is an unprecedented outreach inviting young Americans to make 30- to 60-second “issue films,” which can either be live-action or animated. The noble vision of the organization...

Core classes too often fill us with names, dates, formulas, and theories for some infinitesimally small subset of a field’s body of knowledge rather than teaching us how these facts can be applied to our general understanding of the body as a whole, much less other disciplines. At the very best, Cores tend to be structured...
Whatever its next move, the Bush team is determined to keep its conservative flank happy and to capture the 4 million evangelicals that political guru Karl Rove believes sat on the sidelines in 2000. As the Boykin flap unfolded, Christian activists rushed to Boykin's defense. Evangelical email armies were pressed into service and encouraged to fire in the direction of the White House. After a few days of silence on Boykin, Bush told pool reporters on Air Force One, "He didn't reflect my opinion." Rumsfeld would go no further, pleading that the sound on the videotapes of Boykin...
