...Inspired by his fellow batsmen, Justin Langer transformed from a grafter into an opener who scored as freely as his bludgeoning partner Matthew Hayden. When selectors ended Healy's Test career in 1999, Australians lost a record-breaking wicketkeeper who more than occasionally saved his side with his bat. His replacement, Adam Gilchrist, proved to be an improvement on greatness?an almost equally accomplished gloveman who became, if not his country's finest batsman, certainly its cleanest and most dashing hitter. Of all examples of Australian extravagance this past decade, none has been more demoralizing for opponents than the sight...
Just in case the politicians needed reminding of the urgency of turning things around in Iraq, two of the nation's most senior intelligence officers on Tuesday delivered a gloomy assessment of the war. General Michael Hayden, director of the CIA, warned at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that the sectarian violence between Iraq's Shia and Sunnis has gotten so out of hand it "now presents the greatest immediate threat to Iraq's stability and future." And the Pentagon's top spy, Defense Intelligence Agency director Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, testified with Hayden and was equally downbeat. "Although...
...Hayden, however, has seen little that has pleased him the past eight months. In fact, he concluded, Iraq has been going steadily downhill since last February when the bombing of the al-Askari Shi'ite shrine in Samarra sparked a frenzy of sectarian killing.

...intel chiefs are even more pessimistic over the prospects for Iraq if the U.S. is unable to ensure sufficient stability for the central government to exercise form of sovereignty over the country. The consequences of a failed Iraqi state would be "catastrophic" for Iraqis, Hayden warned. "It would plunge them deeper into chaos and the road out of it would be longer." The instability for the rest of region would be "almost as bad." The temptation of Iran and Syria to intervene "may become irresistible." And, Hayden worries, it "would embolden the worst of our enemies - certainly al-Qaeda...
Other branding consultants use similar methods. "The majority of kids coming out of college are essentially generic," says D.A. Hayden, who did p.r. for clients like Volkswagen and the Washington Redskins before co-founding Hayden-Wilder last fall to help college grads land their first job. "They need key brand attributes and to be able to talk about them to employers." Rob Borden, 25, who graduated from Middlebury in 2005, paid $2,950 for Hayden-Wilder's "Illumination" package. During his initial fake job interview, which was taped, Borden sat stiffly and said "um" a lot. He rambled without direction...
