...mind to mush. One idea is to divide the five-month season up into smaller, more manageable portions. That’s exactly what Stone tried to convince her team of recently with the six-game stretch between Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. The Crimson came away from its long-weekend journey to Duluth with a pair of 6-1 beatings at the hands of the talented Bulldogs that plunged the team’s record to 3-4-2. No matter, Stone said, rip off the next half-dozen straight and we’re back where we want...
Secondly, the vast continent of Africa teems with over 1,000 languages of varying currencies. A choice of four, even if they are among the most widely spoken, is incomplete, arbitrary, and of limited utility. Studying one of these languages means that at an early stage in his intellectual journey a student would be confined to concentrating on the narrow region where this language is used. It makes much more sense for a student of Africa to satisfy himself with his knowledge of English or French—two of the continent’s much more far-reaching lingua...
...want me to do?" I said, "Stop it." One young man telling one old grizzly, guerrilla fighter: "Stop it." He said, "Give me time." Eighteen months later he stopped it. That man faced reality.

As his aircraft door closed, I turned around to my colleagues, I said, [his aides] are getting a shellacking. They gave him the wrong brief. Within weeks...

State officials are scheduled to announce a partnership this week with Virgin Group founder Richard Branson to launch a fleet of ships--based on the Ansari X Prize--winning SpaceShipOne design--that will take tourists up to 400,000 ft. on a two-hour journey. Passengers can cover the $200,000 fare, Virgin Atlantic declared last week, by redeeming 2 million frequent-flyer miles. And, says Virgin Galactic president Will Whitehorn, after a few years "we hope to bring the cost of the trip below...
...toxic organic compounds in the cements used to bind different materials in shoes. The volatile chemicals are poisonous to laborers and bad for the environment. So he asked Timberland researchers to find a less toxic alternative to those adhesives. As it turned out, Nike, far along on its own journey to environmental responsibility (one that has made it the largest retail consumer of organic cotton), was way ahead in developing viable water-based cements and was willing to share its technology, as were some other firms...
