...shake your head," says Staff Sergeant Bryan Keeping. Tynes tells his crew to pray, "'cause you never know what's going to happen. We could have a good day, and they could have a bad day. Or maybe not." Or maybe both. Late last month, after a joint U.S.-Iraqi sweep of Haifa Street, the Iraqi government announced that 263 had been detained in a sweep for "insurgents"--a suspect figure, given that most of the detainees were Shi'ites and the bulk of the hard-core insurgents in this neighborhood are Sunnis. What wasn't reported is that Task...

...global brand and cash in an ocean away from home. Only teams that have global reach will be able to afford the star players who ensure winning results year after year. Man U was the first to launch a U.S. strategy, teaming with the New York Yankees in a joint marketing deal. It even issues an American Man U Master Card. Another team reaching into the U.S. is Celtic, long the home club of Ireland's diaspora. "We've got a million fans in North America," says David McNally, the club's sales director. This summer fans...
