...round, white face, big button nose and floppy black ears, the smiling Oswald was an instant hit and Universal ordered a series of shorts. When Disney met with executives to negotiate another contract in 1928, the rabbit was still riding high and the animator thought he had the upper hand. Instead, the studio told him that it had hired away all of his employeees and retained the rights to Oswald. Univesral offered to keep Disney if he took a lower salary, but he refused. He and Ub Iwerks - the one loyal animator who stayed with Disney Bros. - returned to work...
...also had momentum on its side, entering the weekend having won eight of its last nine games. Harvard knew that a win yesterday translated into sole possession of the title. While the Quakers forced freshman keeper Austin Harms into two early saves, it was Harvard who took the upper hand. The Crimson had several chances to take the lead near the end of the half, but could not break the deadlock.

For the recount, election officials in 110 locations across the state will analyze by hand each of the nearly 3 million ballots to determine voters' intent. (Minnesota uses optical scanners, and many voters haphazardly filled in the intended ovals, didn't do so at all or otherwise improperly marked their ballots.) Thousands of party representatives will literally be peering over the officials' shoulders to challenge any apparent discrepancy. By law, officials must...
Karzai, on the other hand, may see some political advantage in extending an offer that most likely will be refused. Coupled with his offer to the Taliban was an admonishment to his international backers, who have bristled at the idea of negotiating with Mullah Omar in the past. "If I say I want protection for Omar, then the international community has two choices: remove me or leave if they disagree," said Karzai. "If I am removed [by force by the western alliance] in the cause of peace for Afghanistan ... then I'll be very happy...
